DENVER (KDVR) — A United flight diverted to Denver after crews reported an issue with an engine.
United Airlines confirmed to FOX31 that a flight from San Francisco to Paris had to land at Denver International Airport Thursday evening.
Crew members on the Boeing 777-200 reported having an issue with one engine. Even though the issues were reported, United said the flight did not declare an emergency landing, but emergency services were standing by for the plane’s arrival as a precaution.
United said the flight landed safely, and all 273 passengers and 12 crew members deplaned.
Since the flight was canceled upon arrival in Denver, passengers are still waiting for their next available flight to Paris. United said it is working with customers to find flight options on Friday.
This isn’t the first United flight that had to be diverted to Denver mid-trip this year.

Always United. Are we seeing a pattern here, yet?
A Diversity Divert ?
If it’s Boeing ... I AIN’T going.
Boeing doesn’t make the engines, just the airframe.
This happens all the time. The pilots are being cautious, as they should be. We are over-reporting the aircraft operational stories.
Better than a DEI (Didn't Earn It) die...
What’s the big deal? The plane was going to land no matter what once it took off...
Correct. The media are focusing on United/Boeing. Boeing doesn’t make/maintain the engines, either. These types of incidents occur every week to many airlines. This is all clickbait.
Boing! Boing!
I think you have a good point. 45,000 flights a day in America.
Last week we took a United flight on a 737 to SF to visit our son and his family. The pilot got on the speaker and reassured us that he was a skilled pilot, flying since the late 80’s, and that he wouldn’t fly a plane that he didn’t think was ready for the job. It was a very nice flight.
Then on our return, the United pilot got on the speaker, and told us he was finishing up a few days away from his home, and that he was looking forward to being home for a while. That was pretty reassuring, too.
I think United must be getting the message that they’ve been in the news, and not in a good way. The cross dressing, DEI loving CEO better get his PR act together. Customers want pilots that are capable. We don’t care about race or inclusivity, we want pilots that are knowledgeable and tested, and know what to do if they’re ever in a Miracle on the Hudson situation.
I’ve heard before that every time a plane lands, it’s nothing more than a controlled crash..
It’s the uncontrolled ones ya gotta worry about..
AND based out of San Francisco. I think almost all the Boeing “incidents” we’ve been seeing have those two things in common.
I read part of your linked article and had to quit. It just turns my stomach...and scares the sheet out of me. It’s a subject that’s not unknown to those of us paying attention. However...I will save the article and maybe return to it when I’m not so furious at the truth. Articles of this nature are saved in a browse folder I’ve named “America’s Disintegration”. Thanks.
Maybe, just a suggestion, post news of Boeing planes which successfully make the trip without any issues. Less to read….
“We are over-reporting the aircraft operational stories.” Fully agree. I ran across this statistical research in Executive Flight magazine
“What Plane Has Been Involved in the Most Crashes?
Looking at just the numbers, the Boeing 737 has had 149 accidents and 4,360 fatalities.
The Boeing 747 has been involved in 49 accidents and 3,713 fatalities, and the Airbus A300 has been involved in 33 accidents with 1,416 fatalities.
However, as over 10,000 Boeing 737s have been produced compared to 1,569 Boeing 747s and 561 Airbus A300s, this explains why the 737 has been involved in the highest number of mechanical incidents, plane crashes and deaths.
When looking at the data in this way, one can argue that the Boeing 737 is one of the safer commercial airliners, despite being the plane that has crashed most often in the history of commercial aviation”... while the Airbus 300, which has had the least number of incidents, has the highest density of incidents considering there have been 18 times as many Boeing 737s manufactured as there have been Airbus 300s”
A print version, I trust. You won’t be able to use anything electrical after...
Shocking, another poorly maintained United aircraft. Didn’t Earn It.
