The plane turned back 10 minutes after takeoff. The reason was a concerning SMS from a passenger.

On October 24, a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Newark returned shortly after takeoff due to a potential terrorist threat. A passenger allegedly sent a text about hijacking the plane, prompting the pilot to initiate safety procedures. The aircraft needed to burn fuel before landing to reduce weight, which delayed the return. Upon landing, authorities arrested 25-year-old Dante Milne for making threats related to terrorism. United Airlines confirmed the flight's safe return and stated the decision was made for safety reasons, with the investigation ongoing.
