United flight at Dulles experiences nearly 12‑hour delay
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Passengers on a United Airlines flight at Dulles International Airport waited almost 12 hours after the aircraft was delayed, with boarding beginning at 4:30 p.m.
- A technical issue in the cockpit was reported, and bad weather later required the pilot to pull the plane to the side and turn it off to conserve fuel; the aircraft refueled at the gate three hours after the initial delay, after which flight attendants offered passengers the chance to leave. The crew timed out after six hours.
