The impacted system, called Unimatic, houses flight information that is fed to other systems including those that calculate weight and balance and track flight times, according to United. It’s not clear what caused the problem, which was resolved late Wednesday, though some service disruptions continued into Thursday.
An alert on the Federal Aviation Administration website said all United flights destined for Chicago were halted at their departing airports. Flights to United hubs at Denver, Newark, Houston and San Francisco airports also were affected.
The system outage, as the company described it, lasted several hours, the statement said. It wasn’t related to recent concerns about airline industry cybersecurity.
The FAA will now let commercial drones fly beyond the operator’s line of sight.

The move will "unleash American drone dominance," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
As a result, Duffy said, "?You may get a Starbucks cup of coffee from a drone."

What’s cool is that now when you yell “losers” at a bunch of masked ICE goons, there’s a chance one of them is Dean Cain

MAGA washed up actor Dean Cain is now employed after years of unemployment as an ICE bounty hunter.

At least the good news is hidden between those masks is you can identify them now by shouting "are you Dean Cain?"

"?You may get a Starbucks cup of coffee from a drone."
You may also have your airliner suck a drone into an engine and plunge into the harbor, but that's not important right now.
