    Over the weekend, a United Airlines flight en route to San Francisco from Frankfurt, Germany, was forced to divert due to an overflow from one of
    the aircraft’s toilets into the cabin.

    The Boeing 777, operating as United Flight 59, had to return to Frankfurt approximately two hours into the flight Friday after spending some time circling over the North Sea.

    String of incidents: Is it still safe to fly with United Airlines?
    A United spokesperson attributed the incident to “a maintenance issue with
    one of the aircraft’s lavatories.”

    Passengers were accommodated in hotels in Frankfurt and rebooked on
    different flights the following day. The aircraft returned to service on Sunday, according to aviation records.

    This incident is the latest in a series of safety-related events involving United Airlines in recent weeks. On Thursday, a United flight departing
    from San Francisco International Airport for Paris had to divert to Denver International Airport just short of the Canadian border due to an engine
    issue.

    In another incident, a United flight destined for Denver had to return to
    the gate at San Francisco International Airport shortly after takeoff due
    to a bird strike that damaged the pilot’s side window, as reported by the Federal Aviation Administration.

    Last week, a United Airlines executive informed employees that the Federal Aviation Administration would be increasing its oversight of the airline.

    United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby also emphasized in a customer letter
    earlier this month that “safety is our highest priority and is at the
    center of everything we do.” He added that the recent incidents “are
    reminders of the importance of safety.”

    On Monday, United’s pilots union shared a memo from the airline. The note requested pilots to consider voluntary unpaid leave starting in May, potentially extending through the fall, citing delays in the delivery of
    new aircraft.

    “Due to recent changes to our Boeing deliveries, the remaining 2024
    forecast block hours for United have been significantly reduced,” the
    United chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association said in a note to its
    members acquired by CNBC. “While the delivery issues surround our 787 and
    737 fleets, the impact will affect other fleets as well.”
