United Airlines Resolves Nationwide Technology Glitch After 1,000+ Flight Delays

United Airlines experienced a significant technology issue that caused the airline to temporarily halt departures at several major U.S. airports, including Chicago, Denver, Houston, San Francisco, and New Jersey, resulting in over 1,000 flight delays and cancellations. The problem, which affected the airline's weight and balance system, was resolved within about an hour, allowing operations to resume, though residual delays are expected as the airline works to return to normal. United confirmed that flights already in the air were not affected, and while regional flights were not directly impacted, they may face delays due to congestion. The airline emphasized safety as its top priority and is actively working to assist customers in reaching their destinations. Despite the disruption, Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook on United Airlines’ stock, with an average price target suggesting a potential 21.30% upside, while some metrics indicate possible downside risk. The issue did not affect operations at Harry Reid International Airport except for flights departing to Denver.
