United Airlines resumed flights at all U.S. airports on Wednesday after they were grounded due to computer issues, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA issued the order to prevent all United Airlines flights from taking off following a systemwide computer glitch, which was resolved, the agency said.
The website FlightAware had the tally of delayed flights at 92.
United Continental Holdings Inc had experienced "network connectivity issues," an airline spokesman said.
Details on the computer problem were not immediately available.

United flights were also grounded on June 2 due to "automation issues."
At Hector International Airport in Fargo, the computer problems caused one departing United flight bound for Chicago to be delayed slightly more than an hour, said Shawn Dobberstein, executive director of the Fargo Airport Authority.
"The system is up and running," he said. "Everything looks good from here on out."
By the time the computer system delays made national news, the problem was solved, Dobberstein said. An earlier United flight bound for Denver departed Hector on time at 6 a.m.
It's possible passengers on the late flight to Chicago missed connecting flights, but they would be automatically booked on later flights, Dobberstein said. Also, Dobberstein said, some United passengers flying today could encounter snags at O' Hare International Airport in Chicago because of the morning flight delays.
