United flight from Hawaii diverted to San Francisco after midair door alert
United Flight 1731, a Boeing 777-200, departed Kona International Airport at 6:56 p.m. Sunday and was en route to Denver when the crew received an alert indicating an open cargo door, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The aircraft landed safely at San Francisco International Airport around 3:45 a.m. local time, carrying 360 passengers and 10 crew members.
A spokesperson for United Airlines confirmed the issue stemmed from a faulty sensor and said a different aircraft was dispatched to complete the trip to Denver later Monday.

United Airlines Pilot Issues ‘Mayday' After Reported Engine Failure Over Washington
A United Airlines flight carrying 230 people declared an emergency moments after taking off from Washington's Dulles International Airport, with an audio recording capturing the pilot's repeated 'mayday' call to air traffic control. Flight 108 was only moments into its June 25 ascent to Germany's Munich International Airport when its pilot reported an engine failure, according to a tower recording. 'Failure. Engine failure. Left Engine, United 108. Declaring an emergency. Mayday, mayday, mayday,' the pilot is heard saying in the recording obtained and published on YouTube by You Can See ATC. Air traffic control and the pilot discussed preparations for returning to the airport, including the need to dump fuel to adjust for the proper weight needed for landing, according to the audio. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner landed safely shortly after, with 'all passengers deplaned normally at the gate,' a spokesperson for United said in a statement Monday. 'The flight was subsequently canceled and we arranged alternate travel arrangements to take customers to their destination as soon as possible,' they said, while blaming the situation on a 'mechanical issue.' There were no disruptions to other flights, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said in an email. The Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged the crew's report of possible engine issues in an email to HuffPost and said it is investigating. Related...

United Airlines Pilot Declared ‘Mayday' On Recent Flight—Nothing Unusual, Say Experts
A United Airlines pilot issued a mayday distress call after the Boeing 787 he was flying experienced engine failure shortly after taking off from Washington's Dulles airport for Munich on July 25, though 'mayday' calls are not unusual in aviation—letting air traffic controllers know when a flight needs priority handling.

(Photo by Robert Alexander) Getty Images The flight 'returned to Washington Dulles shortly after takeoff to address a mechanical issue,' United Airlines confirmed in a statement shared with Forbes, adding that the plane landed safely, all passengers deplaned normally and the flight was subsequently canceled. 'Mayday' when repeated three times 'indicates imminent and grave danger and that immediate assistance is requested,' according to the Pilot/Controller Glossary published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 'That's by the book, exactly how it's to be done,' John Cox, aviation safety expert and retired commercial airline pilot, told Forbes of the United incident, adding that giving the mayday call tells air traffic controllers 'you need priority and to start moving airplanes away from you.' United Airlines flight 108 from Washington to Munich was operating a Boeing 787 with 219 passengers and 11 crew members on board, when one of the aircraft's two engines failed. 'Can the airplane fly just fine on a single engine? Yes, but that is something where you want to divert and get back on the ground,' Chad Kendall, an associate professor and FAA chief instructor in the Department of Aviation and Aerospace Science at Metropolitan State University of Denver, told Forbes. Pilots train repeatedly throughout their career for engine failure, multiple veteran pilots told Forbes. Air traffic controllers are used to 'mayday' calls, Cox told Forbes. 'And it's even more normal outside the U.S.' How Often Do Commercial Pilots Declare 'mayday'? 'Most of the public has probably seen a movie where there is a pilot in very dire straits using 'mayday, mayday, mayday,' but in terms of pilot training this is a phrase to convey the type of handling and resources from air traffic control that they need in a situation,' Kendall told Forbes. At least one other United Airlines flight issued a 'mayday' distress call last month, when a Boeing 737 on its way from Chicago O'Hare airport to Sarasota, Florida, on July 17 turned around after experiencing a mechanical issue, according to tower audio captured by Flight Follower. 375,000. That's the number of hours of operation per average turbine engine failure, according to the FAA. That translates to roughly one engine failure every 43 years of continuous flight. What Other Distress Calls Do Pilots Use? 'PAN-PAN,' repeated three times, 'indicates uncertainty or alert followed by the nature of the urgency,' according to the FAA's Pilot/Controller Glossary. 'PAN PAN is used in a lesser event, often for a mechanical issue that does not require urgency,' Kendall said. For example, in May, shortly after takeoff from New York's John F. Kennedy airport, a Lufthansa Airbus A340 crew reported that one of the aircraft's four engines failed while over the Atlantic, approximately 120 miles southeast of Boston. The pilot issued a 'PAN-PAN' distress call and requested to return to JFK, where it landed safely. Surprising Fact 'Mayday' comes from 'm'aidez,' which means 'help me' in French. The term 'PAN-PAN' originates from another French word, "panne,' which means "breakdown" or "failure." Both distress calls were adopted internationally in 1927. Further Reading Nervous About Flying?

Why a United Airlines mayday isn't as scary as it sounds
When a United Airlines flight issued a mayday call shortly after departure, passengers onboard were doubtlessly scared. One of the Boeing 787's engines had failed, and the plane was forced to return to Washington Dulles International Airport, rather than continuing over the Atlantic to Munich, where it was bound that Friday evening. Fortunately, the plane landed safely, and no injuries were reported – a testament to effective pilot training and the overall safety of air travel. Any time a plane suffers a flight-disrupting incident, it has the chance to become front-page news, which is perhaps a sign of just how safe flying is. Scores of fatal car accidents go unreported by the national media every day, but a flight that returns to its departure airport, even if no one is hurt, seems worthy of our attention. Flying remains, by far, the safest way to travel in the U.S., as proven by the 2024 Transportation Statistics Report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. 'Transportation incidents for all modes claimed 44,546 lives in 2022, of which all but 2,032 involved highway motor vehicles. Preliminary estimates for 2023 suggest a further decline in fatalities,' the report says. 'There were no deaths from crashes on large commercial airlines in 2023, but several hundred deaths occurred in crashes in general aviation, commuter air, and air taxi services.' In January, an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet over the Potomac River, killing 67 people between the two aircraft. It was an absolute tragedy, but also a statistical anomaly, and the first fatal crash of a commercial airliner in U.S. airspace in nearly 15 years. Is flying safe?: Here's what travelers should know. Airplanes are also designed with safety and redundancy in mind. The 787 that operated United's diverted flight on Friday is capable of flying for hours on a single engine. So, while pilots prioritized getting the plane back on the ground expeditiously, the aircraft itself would have been capable of reaching a runway much farther afield if needed. Pilots and cabin crews, too, are trained to keep safety at the forefront, and are almost always credited with assuring the best possible outcome when something goes awry. So, passengers should continue flying without too much concern. As the adage goes, you're much more likely to get injured on your drive to the airport than you are in the sky.
