There have been three United Airlines diversions in one day, spanning the likes of Dublin, Houston & San Francisco.
We will detail the diversions in this piece, with it not being a good day for the airline on this front.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
Flight #1: United Airlines Flight UA885 Rome-Washington – Dublin Diversion…
Diversion #1 came from United Airlines flight UA885, operating the Rome-Washington service.
The Boeing 767-400 was just entering the Oceanic entry for the Atlantic Ocean when the aircraft made a sharp u-turn and diverted to Dublin.
It was later revealed that the cause of the diversion was a medical emergency onboard the aircraft.
From there, the service continued onwards to Washington.
Flight #2: UA785 Sacramento to Denver – Diversion to San Francisco…
The second diversion came from United Airlines flight UA785 between Sacramento and Denver, not long after the UA885 diversion into Dublin from Rome (Original destination Washington).
UA785 departed Sacramento at 0525 local time this morning, and proceeded eastbound in the direction of Denver, when the aircraft turned around and diverted to San Francisco instead.
The reason for this diversion is unknown currently.
