The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop for United Airlines flights due to a major technical outage, according to Reuters. The issue, which affected United’s entire system, has caused widespread disruptions across several major airports in the country.

While the specific cause of the outage remains unclear, United Airlines confirmed that its technical teams are actively working to resolve the problem and restore operations as soon as possible.

Flights scheduled to depart for key destinations, including Chicago, Denver, Newark, Houston, and San Francisco, have been significantly delayed. Although United has not yet issued a detailed statement on the root cause, it has been responding to individual customer complaints on social media.
