US Airways Operations Affected by Computer Outage

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
flight information is available at http://usairways.com/.
