Friday, 12 Sep, 2025 0

A United Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Japan, leaving two passengers injured.

All occupants were forced to evacuate by emergency slide at Osaka Kansai Airport due to a suspected fire in the cargo hold.

The Boeing 737 was traveling to Cebu, Philippines from Tokyo when it was diverted.

Japan media reported a fire alert went off in the cockpit, indicating a possible fire in the hold.

It is unclear if a fire actually broke out in the cargo hold.

Kansai Airport closed both of its runways as a safety precaution.
