The recent computer glitches experienced by United Airline has caused many flights to be delayed worldwide. This system glitch began late Thursday.
According to TopTech News, this issue has been finally resolved 3a.m. Eastern Time and that any delayed flights will resume. United Airlines apologizes for the inconvenience it caused its thousands of travelers.
United Airlines spokeswoman Maddie King initially reported that there were 63 flights affected when asked by NBC News. Initially, United Airlines spokeswoman said that it only affected a small number of flights and was quick to change it upon learning that it is more serious than initially reported.
In reports by NBC News, there were a number of passengers who got intensely irate while the whole chaos is happening. Though United Airlines tried their very best to fix the glitch the soonest possible time, it already has affected and infuriated a lot of passengers traveling with the US and also around the globe.
Upset passengers because of this computer glitch of United Airlines posted their frustrations on Social Media. A certain Amy Zandy, a sales director from Chicago were among those who got affected.
Amy Zandy vented out her emotions to NBC News when interviewed. She was baffled and confused that such glitch would happen to an airline who's known to be global conglomeration. She can't understand why United Airlines, in spite of its company size is not apparently equipped with backup systems.
Zandy was with her boyfriend waiting to board a flight from San Francisco to San Diego. She said that people are already losing their minds for waiting in line and for boarding announcements which didn't happen until after many hours.
Apparently, this glitch which caused delays to 63 flights is considered smaller compared to another case back in July 2016 where 3,500 flights were directly affected. An official word on a more permanent/ long lasting solution to United Airlines' computer glitches has yet to be announced
