United Airlines Flights Ground Stop Lifted, Expect Delays

BALTIMORE (WJZ/AP) --A United Airlines ground stop has been lifted after computer issues grounded all flights Wednesday morning.

According to CBS News, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that flights were grounded due to an automation issue.

United said in a statement on Wednesday that it is working to resolve the problems, which are related to "network connectivity."

It is the second time in two months that the Chicago carrier has been hit by major technical issues.

United Continental Holdings Inc. had a temporary halt to all takeoffs in the U.S. on June 2 because of what the airline said were computer automation issues.

Its stock declined slightly in premarket trading.

Although planes are no longer grounded, passengers should expect delays.

WJZ is following this story and we'll have updates on how it may affect flights from BWI-Marhsall airport. Stay will CBSBaltimore.com for the latest.
