United Airlines emergency landing at CDG
United Airlines emergency landing after takeoff from Paris CDG on October 25, 2025 saw flight UA914 return safely to the airport.
United Airlines flight UA914 (IATA: UA, ICAO: UAL), operating a Boeing 787‑9 Dreamliner from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Washington Dulles (IAD), was forced to turn back and make an emergency landing shortly after departure on October 25, 2025.
Airport and airline statements say the aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew disembarked without injury. Ground teams inspected the jet on the taxiway and maintenance crews began a technical evaluation; United has opened an internal inquiry into the fault and is arranging onward travel for affected customers.
