Flight 510 took off from Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday evening bound for Rome, Italy, carrying 270 passengers plus 14 crew members. However soon after takeoff a "possible loss of cabin pressure" caused the Boeing 777 to lose altitude. A spokesperson for United Airlines told Fox News Digital that the flight returned to Newark airport "to address a possible loss of cabin pressure. The flight landed safely and there was never any loss of cabin pressure." All passengers were transferred to a different aircraft to continue their journey to Rome–Fiumicino International Airport. According to FlightAware records, the flight dropped in altitude by around 28,000 feet in 10 minutes. United said it found another plane, which left Newark around 3:30 a.m. and reached Rome after 5 p.m. local time, about six hours later than the originally scheduled arrival time. It comes after a chaos erupted on a United Airlines flight last week after an unruly passenger reportedly attempted to enter the cockpit of the aircraft, which was then forced to make an emergency landing. United Airlines Flight 1641, which had been en route to Los Angeles from Chicago, took off from the Chicago O'Hare International Airport at approximately 9pm local time but was quickly forced to land after a passenger got up and rushed the cockpit. They attempted to open the flight deck and exit doors of the Boeing 737 but were ultimately unsuccessful, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement sent to The Mirror US. When the flight landed, law enforcement officers were at the gate, waiting to apprehend the agitated individual, who was taken into custody. It remains unclear what the charges again){kind=link}
