Not sure why that is..

UA863 from SFO came in, and so did UA839 from LAX. Saw UA839 fly on down to MEL, but the other UA aircraft was sitting at the parking apron near the airport Fire station.

Maybe it is related to the recent grounding of seven UA 744s.. (Link to article)

i would say because one came to BNE yesterday and got stuck all day with crew issues etc that this could be a reason why.

Getting back on track, FLIFO shows the cancellation was due to crewing, as suggested in Radi's post.
