Airliner Diverted To Havana Due To An 'Odor' In The Cabin

UAL Jet Made Unscheduled Stop In Cuba

A United Airlines jet enroute to Cancun from Washington D.C. was diverted to Havana on Sunday after the flight crew noticed an unusual odor in the cabin.

Flight 831 departed Washington Dulles airport Sunday morning. The crew chose to make the landing in Havana "in an abundance of caution," according to a UAL spokesperson. "We are working to re-accommodate our customers."

USA Today reports that Cuban officials are being tight lipped about the incident, and no UAL jet was reportedly visible at the Havana airport from surrounding roads.
