United reveals cause of tech glitch

Friday, 06 Sep, 2023 0

United Airlines revealed the reasons for its sudden ground stop Tuesday, debunking speculation of a cyberattack.

The airline said it was caused by a software update that triggered a systems glitch.

The airline was forced to inform the FAA and put a brief ground stop on all flights.

It prevented United crews from communicating with airline dispatchers.

“A software update caused a widespread slowdown in United’s technology systems,” United said in a statement.

The FAA confirmed United requested a brief ground stop, halting all departures nationwide.

It didn’t affect any other airlines.

Only a handful of flights were cancelled but over 300 were delayed.
