Flyer chaos as United Airlines grounds all flights across US over tech failure
United Airlines grounded flights on key routes across United States on Wednesday due to a technology issue, with the airline warning that further delays could continue into the evening. According to an alert from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all United Airlines flights headed to Chicago were temporarily grounded at their departure airports. The disruption also affected flights departing from major hubs including Denver, Newark, Houston, and San Francisco. 'Safety is our top priority, and we'll work with our customers to get them to their destinations,' an emailed statement from the Chicago-based airline said without disclosing the specifics of the problem, AP reported. An AP journalist had boarded a United plane at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for a trip to Houston when flight attendants announced a 'systemwide' problem had grounded flights. They then sent passengers back to the terminal, report said. Another traveller, Johan Kotze, was at the New Orleans airport to begin a journey to the Indian Ocean island nation of Mauritius for vacation. Getting caught up in flight delays for him likely meant he would miss connecting flights along the way and would have to rebook not only the flights but a car and accommodations as well. 'It's not very nice," he said of the experience. United Airlines apologised on social media to upset customers who were facing delays and hours sitting in planes on runways. 'Hey there, we apologize for the travel disruption today,' the airline told a customer on the social platform X. 'Our teams are working to resolve the outage as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.'

A man walks on a suspended bridge along the Bhagirathi river after heavy rainfall in Chinyalisour, Uttarakhand. (REUTERS) Dinesh, a local Malayali Samajam member in Uttarakhand, told reporters in Kerala that he managed to speak to the driver of the bus carrying the tourists. 'I can confirm that they are safe. Their mobile phones are switched off due to batteries dying and absence of network. That's why they were not able to contact their families,' he said. He further said that the tourists, who were travelling to Gangotri, are currently stranded near Bhairav Ghati, around four kilometres away from the site of the flash floods. ITBP personnel, engaged in search and rescue operations, helped the tourists to safety, he added. Of 28 people, 20 are Keralites settled in Maharashtra and the remaining eight from various districts of Kerala. They were on a 10-day tour to Uttarakhand organised by a travel agency in Haridwar. 'The latest information we received from defence sources was that they are safe, but are still stuck in the bus and cannot go anywhere. Majority of them are above 55 years of age. Even Army personnel are unable to reach where their bus is located,' Ambili N Nair, relative of a Kochi-based couple, told reporters. At least six bodies have been recovered and over 190 remain missing after flash floods struck a cluster of villages along the Kheer Ganga river in Uttarkashi district. At least 70 persons have been rescued so far. With inputs from PTI
