Newark-Bound United 787 Returns To LAX After Reported Engine Fire

A United Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner operating Flight 2127 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) departed just after 10 AM on Monday and then turned back. The aircraft landed back at LAX around 11:20 AM, after the crew reported a problematic issue with the left engine. This was a standard emergency turnaround procedure, and many of these happen each year.
