Summary
A United Airlines flight to Spain turned back mid-air after a passenger’s Bluetooth device—named a four-letter word—caused interference, forcing the crew to return to Newark. All 212 people disembarked, underwent security screenings, and were rebooked on a new flight that finally arrived in Palma Sunday. This isn’t the first mishap for United this month, following another diversion and a runway collision earlier in the month—all with no injuries.
