My uncle moves luggage at Fresno Yosemite airport and says he saw emergency vehicles and hazmat suits swarming a United flight from RNO. No word about it to him or other employees

Official reason given:

United Airlines has issued a nationwide ground stop due to a computer issue, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

We are experiencing a systemwide technology issue and are holding all aircraft at their departure airports. Flights that are already airborne are continuing to their destination as planned. We will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience as we work on a resolution to get you on your way as soon as possible.

Computer outages and technical issues can indeed lead to disruptions in air travel, but they typically do not result in nationwide groundings of flights Instead, computer outages affecting airlines or air traffic control systems can lead to flight delays, cancellations, and temporary airspace restrictions.

While computer outages can cause significant disruptions and inconvenience to air travel, they are typically addressed on a case-by-case basis, and flight operations are resumed once the technical issues are resolved. Unlike nationwide groundings, which are rare and ordered for safety or security reasons, computer-related disruptions are more localized and temporary in nature. Airlines and aviation authorities have procedures in place to manage and mitigate such disruptions to minimize their impact on passengers and air travel.
