This comes as all United Airlines flights had to be grounded in October because of a glitch

Passengers were forced to wait for several hours in planes or in the terminals as their flights were delayed.


One person tweeted: “On the plane for more than an hour, away form the age and no communication. What’s happening?”

According to FlightAware.com, from around 1.30pm BST today the airline had to cancel ten flights and a further 37 were delayed.

United Airlines has now lifted the restrictions following the glitch.
