Changed course to Denver

The flight, United Flight 990, operated on a Boeing 777-200, made a safe landing in Denver after the crew detected an issue with one of the engines. Although emergency services were prepared to respond, their assistance was ultimately not required. Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 revealed that the aircraft was flying north over Canada before it changed course, turning south towards Denver.

273 passengers on board

United Airlines stated that passengers disembarked from the aircraft in a standard manner, and the airline is currently assisting its customers with alternative flight arrangements for Friday. The flight had 273 passengers and 12 crew members on board.
