On the heels of the Labor Day weekend, United Airlines briefly issued a nationwide ground stop order, citing a “systemwide technology issue.” The order was lifted around 10 minutes later.
“We are experiencing a systemwide technology issue and are holding all aircraft at their departure airports.
United did not immediately provide any details about why it issued a ground stop and how it was able to lift it so quickly.
The Federal Aviation Authority confirmed the ground stop request in its own tweet.
Only about 8 percent of United’s 211 flights today are reported delayed, a number that is sure to rise throughout the day, according to FlightAware.
Update September 5th 1:55PM ET: The groundstop was lifted around 10 minutes later, according to United and FAA.
