United Airlines resumed flights after a computer glitch forced the carrier to ground its planes Wednesday morning.

In an emailed statement, the carrier said it was restoring flight operations and recovering from “network connectivity issues,” without providing further details on the problem.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ended a ground stop for mainline United flights at approximately 10 a.m. ET. The agency issued the ground stop, which prohibits flights from taking off, around 8:30 a.m. ET, saying “automation issues” were to blame. The agency didn’t immediately reply to questions for more information on the issue. United’s smaller, regional carriers were allowed to resume flights earlier, at 9:19 a.m. ET.
