Overview
- Flight UA925 left London Heathrow at 4:19 p.m. on November 19 bound for Washington Dulles before diverting to Dublin about two hours into the trip.
- Maintenance crews in Dublin recovered a passenger’s laptop that had slipped beside a business-class seat and then inspected the aircraft, according to United.
- The Boeing 767-400 resumed its journey and landed at Dulles at 1:22 a.m., roughly five hours behind schedule.
- The flight carried about 100 passengers and 10 crew, and the airline reported no further issues after the inspection.
- United notes that stuck lithium battery devices can pose a fire hazard, and the diversion follows an October case where a laptop fell behind a cabin panel into the cargo hold.
