United Airlines was forced to issue ground parking for all flights nationwide on Wednesday night due to its weight and balanced computer system.
“We will hold joint mainline flights at its departure airport due to technical issues,” Manchester United said in a statement. “We hope to have additional flight delays when addressing this issue tonight. Safety is our top priority and we will work with our customers to bring them to their destination.”
The airline clarified that no flights in the air will be affected by parking.
A few hours later, the airline announced that they had “solved” the technical issues.
The airline announced via social media. “The basic technical issues have been resolved and our team is working hard to restore our normal operations despite the remaining delays we expect.”
Despite relatively quick corrections, United Airlines was hit by a rebound as many passengers were “stalked” on the tarmac.

“On the apron of #DenverinternationalAirport, stayed on the United flight for over an hour, with no delays to update #United Airlines’ unprofessional,” one passenger shared via X.
Another frustrated trip wrote: “You have to get people off the plane as soon as possible. It’s unbearable.”
One-third wrote to the airline for updates. “Are there any updates nationwide? Your thousands of customers are now stranded and you’re silent about it.”
The airline responded: “Due to the technical disruption, we temporarily hold some joint flights at its departure airport to manage gate availability at the destination airport. This could result in delays throughout the night as we work to resolve the situation. Our team is focused on returning to normal operations as quickly as possible while maintaining security to ensure our highest priority.
