United Airlines Fixes Computer Glitch

A Reuters newswire article, via C|Net News, reports that:

United Airlines said on Wednesday that a computer glitch that slowed passenger processing worldwide on Tuesday has been resolved. The No. 2 U.S. carrier said its computer system used for reservations and passenger check-in failed about 6 p.m. EST, but that it was operational by 10 p.m. EST.

During the computer failure, United relied on a backup system that called for workers to manually check in customers and hold some flights or rebook passengers on later flights.
