Fox News reported that United Airlines Flight 1681 was forced to return to Las Vegas late on Saturday night after a disruptive passenger caused a potential security concern in the cabin. The Newark-bound flight had recently taken off from Harry Reid International Airport before turning around. [1]
The Boeing 737 aircraft was carrying 150 passengers and six crew members at the time of the incident. Fox News reported that the airplane landed safely back in Las Vegas at approximately 11:05 p.m., and no injuries were reported. [1]
According to Fox News, the unexpected return triggered an overnight crew timeout. The situation grounded the cross-country trip until Sunday morning, which delayed the 150 passengers overnight. [1]
A layover is defined as a period when a transit vehicle stops during scheduled transportation. In air travel, layovers usually involve passengers exiting the aircraft to wait in the terminal, as Wikipedia notes. [2]
