A United Airlines flight bound from San Francisco to Paris encountered an engine issue on Thursday evening, prompting its diversion to Denver, the airline confirmed.

United Flight 990, operated by a Boeing 777-200, made its way to Denver International Airport following reports of engine trouble from the flight crew. Fortunately, the aircraft landed without incident, and emergency services, although on standby, were not required.

Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 depicted the plane’s route veering off course, with a northward trajectory over the Canadian border before redirecting southward toward Denver.

United assured that passengers disembarked the aircraft normally and stated that they were diligently working to provide alternate flight arrangements for affected travelers on Friday.

With 273 passengers and a dozen crew members on board, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) disclosed that the plane made a safe landing following reports of a potential mechanical issue and announced an investigation into the incident.

This diversion marks the latest in a series of incidents involving United Airlines, including a tire detachment during takeoff from San Francisco Airport on March 7, an emergency landing due to hydraulic problems in Los Angeles the next day, and an incident where a panel detached from an aging Boeing 737.

As scrutiny intensifies, recent reports suggest that the FAA is contemplating temporary measures against United, potentially impacting the airline’s ability to expand its routes or fleet. In a memo to employees, Sasha Johnson, United’s vice president of corporate safety, hinted at forthcoming FAA oversight, signaling a period of review and potential adjustments to operational protocols.
