United Airlines flights have now resumed operations after they were halted for over an hour in a US and Canada-wide outage on Tuesday.

United notified the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), and its passengers that it was grounding its flights temporarily due to an “equipment outage,” according to an alert from the FAA.

United Airlines resolves ‘technical glitch’

In an update an hour later, the FAA alert said the “ground stop is cancelled.”

“We have identified a fix for the technology issue and flights have resumed. We’re working with impacted customers to help them reach their destinations as soon as possible,” United Airlines posted on social media.

The ground stop while lasting just over an hour, delayed hundreds of United Airlines flights. Ground stops halt flights at their origin of departure, not at their arrival destination.

The initial notification from United Airlines read, “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.

The tracking site FlightAware showed 14 United flights were canceled on Tuesday.
