A United Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in New Jersey on Monday after the smell of smoke was detected in the cockpit.
According to New York, United Flight 800 took off from Newark Liberty International Airport en route to Orlando International Airport on Monday morning but was forced to turn around only 13 minutes into the journey.
An unnamed passenger who was on the impacted flight told NBC New York an attendant said as the plane was boarding that she detected an “odd odor” before takeoff. The aircraft landed safely in Newark and the passengers were deplaned.
United scheduled the passengers to continue their flight on a new plane and it departed from New Jersey at 9:30 a.m. local time. The aircraft was expected to land in Florida at 12:07 p.m., about a three-hour delay.
A United spokesperson said the plane was forced to make the emergency landing due to a mechanical issue.
