Computer breakdown delays United flights

CHICAGO (AP) -- Dozens of United Airlines flights were delayed Monday morning when the carrier's reservations computer failed, the airline said.

The computer breakdown affected more than 50 domestic flights, mostly those flying into or out of Chicago and Denver, United spokesman Jeff Green said. Delays stretched to as long as 70 minutes, he said.

The computer shut down for 45 minutes, United said. The airline attributed the breakdown to a server connection problem.

Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and Denver International Airport are two of five main hubs for UAL Corp.'s United, which has its headquarters adjacent to O'Hare in Elk Grove Village, Ill.
