Strong Odor Forces Flight Landing

An unidentified odor in the passenger cabin forced the landing of a United Airlines flight from Newark, N.J. to Austin, Texas, approximately 20 minutes after takeoff. Several passengers who were aboard the flight in order to attend the South by Southwest festival commented on it on Twitter, and one Twitter user named Katherine Zimoulis tweeted: “Well this is a first. Midair on a flight to #SXSW plane gets turned back Newark due to a smell. Everyone is OK, pilot’s a pro!” The flight was three hours behind schedule by the time it arrived at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA).
