United Airlines said Tuesday that it has fixed a technical fault that had led it to suspend worldwide departures, briefly crippling one of America’s largest carriers on a busy travel day.
According to federal authorities, United crews were unable to contact airline dispatchers through conventional channels.
“United asked the FAA to pause the airline’s departures nationwide,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on X,the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
The FAA stated that the issue was limited to United and its subsidiaries. The FAA released a bulletin about United’s ground halt shortly before 2 p.m. Eastern time, and flights resumed shortly after.
“We have identified a fix for the technology issue and flights have resumed,” United clarified in a statement. “We’re working with impacted customers to help them reach their destinations as soon as possible.”
