The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted a brief Nationwide Ground stop for United Airlines flights. The ground stop was caused by a software update that resulted in a widespread slowdown in United's technology systems. The airline held aircraft at their origin airports for a short period of time before normal operations resumed. United is investigating the cause of the slowdown, but it does not believe it is a cybersecurity issue. The incident did not affect aircraft that were already in flight. United's stock price closed over 2% lower following the incident.
