The United flight left the same day that 36 people were injured due to extreme turbulence around the Maui area on a flight traveling from Phoenix to Honolulu. However, the United flight did not receive the same social media attention as the flight that was impacted by turbulence. A United spokesperson said the pilots filed an internal safety report when they landed in California, and the aircraft was also inspected before traveling to its next destination.
“United then closely coordinated with the FAA and ALPA on an investigation that ultimately resulted in the pilots receiving additional training. Safety remains our highest priority,” the spokesmanThe pilots have “fully cooperated with the investigation and their training program is ongoing,” the spokesman added. However, the spokesman declined to say how many passengers were aboard the flight, which had a maximum capacity of 312 people.
