United Airlines Grounds Flights Across The Country Due To Apparent Computer Glitch

Update 10.00AM: United Airlines flights across America are apparently back up and running after being grounded since early Wednesday morning.

United Airlines flights across the U.S. have been grounded due to an apparent problem with the carrier's computer reservation system.

"We experienced a network connectivity issue this morning," United confirmed in a statement after 9 a.m. "We are working to resolve this and apologize to our customers for any inconvenience."

All United flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport were canceled Wednesday morning, according to International Business Times reporter Chris Harress, who is at the scene. Multiple passengers are taking to Twitter to provide updates on the situation:
