A United Airlines plane had to land mid-flight on Sunday, July 28, 2024, after having a biological problem with a passenger.

A Boeing plane had to make an emergency landing at Washington airport on Sunday, July 28. The reason? The very worrying condition of a traveler on board who reportedly fell ill during the journey. Information confirmed by the American television channel ABC7.

While the flight from Houston was initially scheduled to land in Boston, the passenger was unable to hold on and caused a forced stop for the safety of all staff.

A deep cleaning of the aircraft

"United flight UA2477 (Houston-Boston) was diverted to Washington-Dulles after a customer encountered a medical problem. The plane is currently undergoing a deep cleaning and we are working to get customers to Boston soon,” the airline said, according to ABC7. Some passengers may remember the unusual flight.
