- The flight was diverted to Canada due to a medical issue aboard the plane.
- Passengers experienced an unexpected delay and change in travel plans.
In a troubling sequence of events, United Airlines flight 507, en route from San Francisco to Rome, was diverted for the second consecutive day, this time landing in Edmonton, Canada, due to a medical emergency involving a passenger. The flight, which took off from San Francisco International Airport at 4:49 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, was forced to make a U-turn northwest of Hudson Bay before landing in Alberta at 12:15 a.m. MDT Thursday. The airline did not disclose specific details regarding the medical issue. This incident follows a similar diversion on Tuesday, when the same flight was redirected to Sacramento due to an unspecified mechanical problem. After addressing the issue, the flight returned to San Francisco, leaving passengers frustrated and stranded. The repeated diversions have raised concerns among travelers about the reliability of the service. As a result of the latest diversion, United Airlines canceled flight 507 for Thursday. Passengers who were affected by the diversion on Wednesday will be accommodated on United flight 3035, which is scheduled to depart from San Francisco for Rome at 4:45 p.m. PDT. This flight will take approximately 11 hours to reach Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport. United Airlines has not provided further information on the medical situation or the mechanical issues that have plagued flight 507, leaving passengers eager for clarity as they navigate these disruptions.
