UPDATE: FAA Lifts Grounding of United Airlines Flights, Delays Linger

A United Airlines computer malfunction caused delays at airports around the nation on Wednesday morning, including their hub at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration lifted their ground stop of all United Airlines flights at 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

The airline began resuming normal operations at 10:42 a.m., stated the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Delays to some United flights were still being reported as of 11:15 a.m.

United Airlines flights around the country were grounded temporarily because of a computer malfunction, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

“We experienced a network connectivity issue this morning,” United said in a statement. “We are working to resolve this and apologize to our customers for any inconvenience.”

The FAA described the problem as an “automation issue” in an alert.

United announced that the change fee and any difference in fare will be waived for new flights departing between July 8, 2015 and July 10, 2015, as long as travel is rescheduled in the same cabin (any fare class) and between the same cities as originally ticketed.

For wholly rescheduled travel departing after July 10, 2015, or for a change in departure or destination city, the change fee will be waived, but a difference in fare may apply. Rescheduled travel must be completed within one year from the date when the ticket was issued.
