ERLANGER, Ohio, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Airline Comair's computer system has failed, stranding tens of thousands of travelers and costing the airline estimated millions of dollars.
A company spokesperson said resumption of some flights was possible Sunday, but the airline will probably operate on a limited schedule for at least a week, the Cincinnati Post reported Sunday.
The Erlanger, Ohio, based airline said Saturday computer technicians were working to restore the system, which monitors the location of flight crews.
"We have certain criteria we need to meet for safety reasons, and we need to make sure that we remain a very safe operation and that we are still doing things according to the rules," Comair spokeswoman Tressie Long said. Without the flight-crew information, all lights were canceled.
"Our goal is to maximize the flights we can to get the greatest impact and most number of people moving," she said. "We still don't know where we'll be going, however."
The computer system failed Friday after it was overloaded by the rescheduling from last week's snowstorm, Long said. There was no backup system.
