On Friday afternoon, a United Airlines flight headed to Mexico City International Airport from San Francisco International Airport was diverted to Los Angeles International Airport “due to an issue with the aircraft’s hydraulic system,” according to the airline, marking the fourth incident for United in one week.

A United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Mexico City was diverted to Los Angeles Friday after an issue with the plane’s hydraulic system, the airline said. It was the carrier’s fourth emergency in a week, including a tire falling off one flight and an engine catching fire on another. The Airbus 320, carrying 105 passengers and five crew members, landed safely and everyone disembarked at a gate, according to United and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Friday’s diverted flight was United’s fourth emergency in a week, including an engine that ingested bubblewrap and caught fire midair on Monday, another flight losing a tire after takeoff on Thursday, and another aircraft skidding off a runway into a grassy area on Friday. United Airlines said in a statement that “each of these events is distinct and unrelated to one another.
