United Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Diverted Due to Reports of Smoke

Boeing is making headlines yet again after a United Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was diverted shortly after take off. A United Airlines Boeing flight travelling between Los Angeles and Hong Kong was directed to San Francisco. This happened shortly after take-off as reports of smoke were identified inside the cabin. Approximately 90 minutes after take off, the flight was diverted and landed at the San Francisco airport.

This is, however, not the first time that Boeing is getting into hot waters. This year alone, Boeing has made major headlines due to several errors in their flights. Early into 2024, a 787 Dreamliner suddenly plunged midflight, causing people to raise eyebrows at all the problems going on with the company. Following the incident, approximately 50 passengers were treated for injuries after they arrived in Auckland.

Prior to this, Boeing also made headlines due to part of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max blowing off the side of the plane. Luckily the passenger failed to show up, causing less damage than what might have occurred during the incident.
