United

(UAL) - Get Report

experienced computer problems Thursday morning, but those problems are over.

"We're up and running, getting back to normal," a United spokesman said in an email shortly before 11 a.m. EST. He said some but not all mainline flights were impacted. United Express flights were not impacted.

The Associated Press

earlier reported that a computer outage stranded United passengers in airports across the country. Some fliers waited nearly two hours to depart.
