United flight to LAX diverted due to medical emergency possibly linked to COVID-19 KABC Several questions arose Friday surrounding a medical emergency on a United Airlines flight to Los Angeles International Airport after a man died following a heart attack -- including whether COVID-19 may have played a role. United Flight 591 from Orlando, Florida, landed at LAX on Monday -- hours after the plane made an emergency landing in New Orleans. The airline said in a written statement, at the time of the incident, it was determined the passenger "suffered a cardiac arrest, so passengers were given the option to take a later flight or continue on with their travel plans."
