A United Airlines flight was forced to return to Sydney just two hours into its nearly 14-hour journey to San Francisco, in the carrier’s fifth flight incident in seven days. The Boeing 777-300 aircraft, carrying 183 passengers and crew, was redirected due to a “maintenance issue,” according to a statement from United Airlines. “The plane landed safely, and passengers deplaned normally at the gate.
The incident Monday on United flight 830 is the latest in a string of incidents to hit the US airline in recent days. Last week, an engine that ingested bubblewrap caught fire midair, while another flight lost a tire after takeoff on Thursday. On Friday, a United Airlines aircraft skidded off a runway into a grassy area, and in another incident a flight from San Francisco to Mexico City was diverted to Los Angeles after an issue with the plane’s hydraulic system, the airline said.
