United Airlines said it would resume services after grounding all domestic flights following a computer glitch Sunday. International flights were not affected, said the FAA. The number of flights that were affected was not known. “The ground stop has been lifted. We’re working to get flights on their way,” the company said in a tweet. “We are working as quickly as possible to resolve this issue and get out customers to their final destinations,” a company spokesman said. United was just one of several US airlines to experience disruptions due to glitches last year, an issue that prompted some to blame Sabre Corp, a software company. In October, thousands of United passengers were delayed worldwide after a computer glitch temporarily halted departures. <br/>

Former THAI president Kanok Abhiradee has denied any involvement in the Rolls-Royce bribery scandal. In a message sent to his classmates at the Justice Ministry's programme for senior executives on justice administration, Kanok wrote that he worked with thousands of THAI staff to turn the debt-saddled company into the No.1 airline at the time. Kanok, who served as president between May 2, 2002, and April 30, 2006, insisted that he consistently adhered to the principle of good governance while working at the carrier. He added that the bribery scandal has damaged the dignity and reputation of all THAI personnel. The message came after former Rak Thailand Party leader Chuvit Kamovisit told reporters Friday that someone whose name starts with the first letter of the Thai alphabet is among those involved in the bribery scandal. <br/>
