MIAMI — United Airlines announced that a technology disruption was the cause of flight delays on Wednesday evening.

Unimatic, which stores flight data and feeds it to other systems, started to malfunction shortly after 5:10 p.m., according to the airline’s announcement.

“We are working with customers to get them to their destinations,” an airline spokesperson said, adding there were “residual delays” after the issue was resolved.

As a “controllable delay,” United Airlines reported paying customer expenses, such as hotels, when applicable.
