LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A United Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Los Angeles Friday afternoon following reports of a "complete hydraulic failure."
The Airbus A320 took off from San Francisco International Airport with 110 people on board, headed to Mexico City, and was diverted to L.A. "due to an issue with the aircraft's hydraulic system," United said in a statement.
The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport just before 4:30 p.m.
"The flight landed safely and passengers were deplaned normally at the gate," the airline said, adding that passengers will be taken to Mexico City on a new aircraft that was scheduled to depart Friday later.
"This aircraft type has three hydraulic systems for redundancy purposes. Preliminary information shows there was only an issue with one system on this aircraft."

>You must fly 100 times a year.<
I was an airline pilot for 41 years. I retired at the beginning of the covid BS.

Were you a Continental Airline 777 pilot? If so, then I’d imagine you flew for United too?
Me thinks United may have some maintenance issues.
How’s that DEI working for you United?
Boeing has been having issues but United has also been having issues. Have to wonder what is going on here or if the media is just all worked up about normal aviation stuff that has happened for years.
You know the gig.
One thing happens and then its copycat reporting everywhere.
Two weeks later they move on to the next thing after spinning everyone up about Life As Usual, reported hysterically.
Another?
“This sort of thing happens all the time. It’s just making news at the moment.”
Party pooper.
Having a wheel fall off is not something that happens “every day.”
Not by choice, but through the merger in 2009. United wanted nothing to do with a White male with 6000 flight hours in the mid 80’s.

That’s a shame. Continental was my favorite airline before the merger. Never took a liking to United for whatever reason.
I bet you can tell the difference between a former Continental employee and a former United employee just by the interaction.

DEI is intended to take down American business from within...the same way the country is being taken down fro within by treason
