US Airways Operations Affected by Computer Outage ARLINGTON, Va.,
Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The US Airways flight operations system
database, hosted by Electronic Data Systems (EDS), experienced a
malfunction this morning for approximately 3.5 hours. As a result,
US Airways implemented a ground stop on Sunday morning in order to
manually process flights and restore the automated system.
Approximately 100 flights were delayed this morning and the delays
could ripple throughout the system most of today. As of 9:45 a.m.,
Eastern time, the flight operations system was functioning
normally. Passengers should plan to get to the airport in plenty of
time to clear security, assuming their flight will depart as
scheduled. US Airways is working to get all flights back to their
scheduled departure times as quickly as possible. Separately, US
Airways is experiencing some delays and a few cancellations related
to thunderstorms in the Philadelphia and New York regions. Updated
