United Airlines aircraft departing from the International Airport in Los Angeles to China had to turn back for some surprising reasons. It turns out that one of the pilots had forgotten to take important documents during the flight.
The machine began in LA on Saturday, with 257 passengers and 13 crew members on board at 14.00. The plane headed northwest and crossed the Pacific Ocean on its way to Shanghai, according to the plan. The trip lasted about 13.5 hours.
The pilot forgot his passport. The plane had to turn back
Data from FlightAware, a flight status monitoring platform, revealed that the aircraft had retreated two hours after its launch and landed in San Francisco at 17.00.

“The pilot didn’t have a passport with him,” CNN said, citing United Airlines.
“We formed a new crew, which took the client to their destination the same night. The passengers received a voucher for meals worth $15 and received compensation,” explained airline Linney.
The new crew took off around 21.00, and the plane landed in Shanghai with a delay of about six hours.
The pilot lost his passport. Lot was 11 hours late
“Independent” Everyday reminded me that it was not the first case when flights were disrupted due to the lack of relevant pilot documents.
