A nationwide ground stop was issued for United Airlines flights on Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Ground stops halt flights at their origin of departure, not at their arrival destination.
“We are experiencing a systemwide technology issue and are holding all aircraft at their departure airports,” United said in a statement.
“Flights that are already airborne are continuing to their destination as planned. We’re currently investigating and will share more information as it becomes available,” the company said.
