A United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Newark returned to the gate after a flight attendant reported a passenger texting a hijacking threat, and the passenger was arrested.
United Flight 1681, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 carrying 150 passengers and six crew, departed Las Vegas for Newark on Saturday, October 24, 2026, and returned to Harry Reid International Airport after a flight attendant reported seeing a passenger text a threat to hijack the aircraft. The plane landed safely around 11:05 p.m. local time, and law enforcement arrested 25-year-old Dante Milne on charges of making terroristic threats. The FAA said its investigation is ongoing, and United said the flight departed for Newark the next morning.

The split, in one line
The Daily Wire names the suspect, the charge and the arrest; the Jerusalem Post leads with the mechanics of the return and ties it to the October 1 flydubai axe hijacking, a context the other outlet never mentions.
