American Airlines Flight Diverts to Las Vegas Due to Engine Issue Las Vegas, NV – June 25, 2025 – An American Airlines flight en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, was forced to divert back to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas this morning after experiencing an engine issue shortly after takeoff. Flight AAL1665, operated by an Airbus A321-211 with registration number N157UW, departed Las Vegas at approximately 7:09 a.m. local time.
