Aviation news international – There have been three United Airlines emergencies over the course of three days, consisting of two technical issues and one medical.
It has been quite the busy week for the U.S carrier, in terms of either trying to rebook passengers on these affected flights, to them being cancelled outright.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
Incident #1: United Airlines 767 from New York – Berlin declares emergency…
The first emergency came from United Airlines flight UA962 between New York’s Newark and Berlin, where the aircraft declared an emergency to the north of Dublin. This happened on September 13.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, the aircraft turned south in the direction of Dublin Airport, and was able to land quickly.
This flight was operated by N648UA, one of the airline’s Boeing 767-300ER aircraft in their extensive fleet of jets.
It is understood that the cause of this emergency was due to a medical-related issue onboard, with the aircraft eventually continuing on to Berlin after this landing.
Incident #2: Depressurisation Chaos Causes A Return Back to Newark…
Incident #2 came from United Airlines flight UA510 between New York Newark and Rome Fiumicino Airport on September 13.
N786UA was the Boeing 777-200ER that operated the flight which suffered depressurization issues over the Nova Scotia area.
From there, the aircraft turned around and headed back to New York, as it would be deemed unsafe to continue across the Atlantic Ocean.
The jet landed safely after an ordeal that lasted a few hours due to holding and fuel burn.
Incident #3: Technical Issue on United Airlines Boeing 777 Causes Return to Frankfurt – Not Continuing to Houston…
