From Wall Street Journal:
United Airlines officials said four of their Boeing 777-300 aircraft had been activated. The airline said it expected minimal operational impact but will contact any customers whose flights are impacted.
On Sunday morning, one of the United planes was en route from Frankfurt, Germany, to an air base in Qatar, according to Flightradar24, a flight tracking site.
