  • A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Mexico City had to make an emergency landing in LA after suffering a hydraulic failure

  • The jet became the fourth this week to run into problems for the airline, with others skidding off a runway, shooting flames from its engine and losing a wheel

  • All 105 passengers and five crew members on board the flight to Mexico landed safely and deplaned at the gate, with a new flight having to be scheduled

 

A United Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing on Friday after a fault with the aircraft's hydraulic system, making it the fourth incident for the airline this week.

 

The airline said the flight heading to Mexico City from San Francisco had to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles due to the fault.

 

All 105 passengers and five crew members on board landed safely and deplaned at the gate, with a new flight having to be scheduled.

 

The incident rounds off a week of problems for the airline, with a plane going off the runway on Friday, a wheel coming off a flight on Thursday and a plane engine shooting flames on Monday.

 

The United Airlines flight that lost its wheel had also departed from San Francisco and was on its way to Osaka in Japan when the wheel of the Boeing 777-200's wheel came off.

 

Several vehicles in the employee car parking lot were badly damaged by the falling wheel that also mangled a fence.

 

The plane landed safely at LAX about 1:20 pm with no further incident and no injuries reported on the ground.

 

'The 777-200 has six tires on each of its two main landing gear struts. The aircraft is designed to land safely with missing or damaged tires,' United said.

 

A new plane had to be scrambled to take the passengers to Japan from Los Angeles falling the incident.

 

On Friday, another flight veered off the runway after landing in Houston, having suffered some form of gear collapse as it exited the runway at George Bush Airport.

 

Shocking footage showed the plane on its wings on grass by the side of the runway, with passengers being hurried from an emergency gate ladder.

 

Despite the rocky end to the flight, a passenger claimed that the landing was smooth, but they felt some bumps as the plane began to taxi.

 

'Felt like when you have a flat tire in a car,' the passenger told Click2Houston.
