United Airlines faced a significant technology issue on Wednesday that grounded all flights and resulted in widespread delays and cancellations. Over 1,000 flights were delayed, particularly impacting airports like San Francisco International, where numerous departures and arrivals were affected. The ground stop at major hubs lasted about two hours. United attributed the problem to its Unimatic system, which is crucial for flight information. Despite the chaos, the airline announced that it would cover expenses for affected passengers and worked to restore regular operations, citing the issue as controllable and not related to national air traffic control problems.
A nationwide technical glitch for United Airlines caused massive headaches for travelers coast to coast, leading to over 1,000 delayed flights and cancellations.
The trouble was with United's Unimatic system, which houses flight information and feeds into systems that calculate weight, balance, and track flight times.
United Airlines confirmed the glitch was a controllable delay and committed to covering customer expenses for hotels due to the disruptions.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy clarified that the issue was not related to broader air traffic control problems but specific to United's operations.
