United Cancels 9/11 Flyover After Community Concerns
A planned flyover by United Airlines in Denver on September 11, 2026, was canceled after 'concerns in the community' were raised. The event would have featured a Boeing 777 aircraft escorted by four fighter jets and was intended to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
The flyover was scheduled for 9:03 a.m., the exact time when United Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The Denver Office of Emergency Management had posted about the planned event on social media, assuring residents that it did not signal an emergency.
However, officials later confirmed that the flyover was canceled 'following concerns.' United Airlines released a statement saying they would suspend plans for the aircraft flyover due to community concerns and instead focus on other events honoring the victims of 9/11.
