Problems started to arise just before 6:15pm ET.
Around three in 10 of the carrier’s flights were delayed by around 9:45pm.
The issue was eventually resolved, but chiefs warned travelers to expect delays.
“Due to a technology issue, we are holding United mainline flights at their departure airports,” a spokesperson told Fox Business.
“We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue.
“Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations.”
Travelers told CNN their experiences at airports had been “pretty rough.”
Jessica Jeffers, who was on a flight heading from Denver to Newark, was stuck on her aircraft for two hours waiting for answers.
She claimed passengers were given an ultimatum of disembarking the plane or wait on board.
“The air condition has been running really low so we have essentially been baking in here for hours,” she told CNN.
