Around 200 United Airlines flights were delayed yesterday as the airline suffered the third system outage this year.
The airline denied that the problems were related to a merger with Continental’s “Share’s” system.
It said services were disrupted because a dispatch system was unable to communicate information about baggage, cargo, weight and balanace with aircraft on the ground before departure.
A spokesman said few if any flights were cancelled.
All the flights affected were United aircraft, not United Express or Continental’s aircraft.
