United Continental operations hit by network outage

(Reuters) - United Continental Holdings on Tuesday said a network outage was hampering its website and airport functions.

'We are working to resolve the issue and minimize any impact to our operations,' a spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. No other information was immediately available about the outage.

United bought Continental in a $3.17 billion stock deal in 2010, creating the world's largest air carrier. The merged company has struggled to integrate operations smoothly.

The company recorded a charge of $206 million in the second quarter due to costs for systems integration and training, severance packages for voluntary retirements and employee relocation.
