United Airlines said Thursday that a computer outage that had caused flight delays with its operations at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport was being resolved, but advised passengers to continue to check the status of flights.
"United's check-in systems have been addressed and the number of flights arriving and departing O'Hare is improving," a United spokeswoman said in a statement.
"While we continue to expect some delays, we expect to resume scheduled operations this afternoon," she added.
Earlier on Thursday, local media had reported that long lines of passengers stretched to outside the terminal after a computer problem resulted in flight delays and some cancellations ahead of the busy July 4th holiday.
The carrier said customers could take advantage of United's travel waiver, which would allow changes without some penalties, if they wanted to change their travel plans.
"We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this morning and recommend they continue to use united.com to check flight status and check-in," Medina added.
