Cross-country United flight diverted due to smell in the cabin
A United Airlines flight from Newark Liberty Airport to Los Angeles International Airport was diverted following reports of a “gaseous” smell in the cabin. The aircraft — a Boeing 757-200 — left Newark at 4.24pm on Saturday and landed in Pittsburgh nearly two hours later. A United Airlines spokesperson said all passengers got off the plane normally at the gate. Another aircraft was arranged to take customers to Los Angeles. That plane left Pittsburgh at 10:31 p.m. and landed in Los Angeles about 30 minutes after midnight, causing an almost six-hour delay to the flight’s schedule. It’s unclear what caused the odor, but a spokesperson for the airline said it did not stem from a gas leak. The airline did not release additional information. The plane has been in service since 22 November 1994.<br/>
