Multiple Diversion on different days, same flight
« on: August 19, 2024, 14:28:19 UTC »
I guess this flight didn't really want to go to Italy.

So here's the original issue from AVH, but looking further, same flight (not the same plane that diverted to Sacramento), the next day, then diverted to Edmonton.

Incident: United B772 near Sacramento on Aug 13th 2024, engine trouble
By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Aug 14th 2024 17:28Z, last updated Thursday, Aug 15th 2024 14:19Z

A United Boeing 777-200, registration N204UA performing flight UA-507 from San Francisco,CA (USA) to Rome Fiumicino (Italy) with 148 passengers and 14 crew, was enroute at FL300 about 70nm northeast of Sacramento,CA (USA) when the crew reported engine (PW4090) trouble and decided to divert to Sacramento where the aircraft landed safely on runway 17L about 35 minutes later.

The FAA reported: "United Airlines Flight 507 landed safely at Sacramento International Airport in California around 5:50 p.m. local time on Tuesday, August 13, after the crew reported a possible engine issue. The Boeing 777-200 departed San Francisco International Airport and was headed to Rome, Italy. The FAA will investigate."

On Aug 15th 2024 passengers reported the crew announced their left hand engine was shut down due to overheating.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Sacramento about 38 hours after landing.
