United Airlines faces a fifth incident in a week as a US-bound flight returns to Australia.
Not again …
A United Airlines Boeing 777-300 aircraft suffered a midair fuel leak and was forced to make an emergency landing Monday, marking the fifth incident the airline reported in a little over a week.
United Airlines Flight 830 took off for a 14-hour journey from Sydney to San Francisco, but only two hours into the flight, the plane had to be redirected over a “maintenance issue,” ABC 7 reported.
