BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Passengers on a United Airlines flight heading to the Boston Logan International Airport from the San Francisco International Airport was diverted to Denver on Monday evening to address an aircraft problem.

United Flight 354 safely touched down in Colorado at 5:21 p.m. local time, and the airline arranged for passengers to take another plane to Boston.
Eventually, the new flight landed in Boston in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
