“SkyWest Flight 5223, operating as United Express from San Francisco to Burbank on Saturday, March 23, diverted to Bakersfield due to a mechanical indication,” SkyWest Airlines Corporate Communications told Yahoo in a statement. “The flight landed safely without incident in Bakersfield. Passengers deplaned normally at the gate and were then transported via ground transportation to Burbank.”
Reeves was amenable to the inconvenience, allowing himself to be recorded, even reading fun facts about Bakersfield to riders within earshot.
Reeve’s latest film, "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum," opens on May 17 and has him working with Halle Berry.
