What Happened: Flights that were en-route to their destinations continued as planned, but the airline was holding the rest of its aircraft at their departure airports due to a "systemwide technology issue," it said on X.

More than 260 flights have been delayed, according to flightaware.

In a follow-up tweet, United Airlines said it has “identified a fix for the technology issue” and flights have resumed.
