A Republic Airways Embraer ERJ-170 on behalf of United, registration N865RW performing flight
UA-3578 from Indianapolis,IN to Newark,NJ (USA), was climbing through FL260 when the crew detected a bleed air leak at the left hand engine causing problems with the cabin pressure. The crew subsequently received a cabin altitude alert and initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet. The aircraft diverted to Columbus,OH (USA) for a safe landing about 25 minutes after stopping the climb.
A replacement Embraer ERJ-170 registration continued the flight about one hour after landing and reached Newark with a delay of 90 minutes.
