A nationwide floor cease was issued for United Airways flights on Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration mentioned.
Floor stops halt flights at their origin of departure, not at their arrival vacation spot.
“We’re experiencing a systemwide know-how concern and are holding all plane at their departure airports,” United mentioned in an announcement.
“Flights which can be already airborne are persevering with to their vacation spot as deliberate. We’re at the moment investigating and can share extra data because it turns into out there,” the corporate mentioned.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in an announcement on X, previously referred to as Twitter, wrote that he was conscious of the bottom cease.
“FAA is at the moment receiving extra details about the trigger and scope of the problem, and [Department of Transportation] will be certain that UA meets its obligations to affected passengers,” Buttigieg wrote.
