United Airlines says it is getting back on schedule after a Sunday night computer issue  for more than two hours, including at Denver International Airport.

The carrier says it so passengers can change their flights without a fee.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused,” the airline said in a statement.

The computer problems apparently involved information pilots receive, such as weight and balance information, before flights depart. The issue was resolved Sunday night.

At DIA on Monday morning, a handful of departing United flights showed relatively minor delays.

Twitter bulletins from United shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday indicated airline officials had ordered a nationwide grounding of domestic flights. Just after 7 p.m., a United bulletin said the grounding order had been lifted.
