According to air traffic control audio, security came to inspect the aircraft after someone named their Bluetooth device a "certain four-letter word."
The flight departed around 6 p.m. for Palma de Mallorca, Spain, but landed back at Newark at 9:37 p.m., according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby outlined plans for Newark Liberty Airport from collaborating on a new Terminal B to restoring some flights.
The flight to Palma de Mallorca diverted back to Newark late on Saturday. Air traffic audio and social media posts indicate an onboard Bluetooth device raised security concerns.
