United Airlines Flight 1513, a Boeing 737, made an emergency landing at Washington Dulles International Airport after smoke appeared in the cabin. The aircraft was en route from Key West, Florida, to Newark, New Jersey, when the crew detected light smoke from a galley oven. They quickly diverted to Washington Dulles and landed safely at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Time.

The flight carried 98 passengers and five crew members. After landing, everyone safely exited the aircraft at the gate. United Airlines arranged another flight to take passengers to Newark later that evening.

Authorities launched an investigation into the incident. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working to determine the cause of the smoke and ensure future flight safety. The agency’s findings will help prevent similar emergencies.

This event raises concerns about aviation safety in the Washington, D.C., area. Just days earlier, another flight to Dulles had to return due to a pressurization issue. The region is still recovering from a tragic midair collision in January that claimed 67 lives.

The FAA continues its efforts to improve flight safety. United Airlines and the aviation industry remain focused on preventing emergencies and restoring public confidence in air travel.
