A United Boeing 757-200, registration N12114 performing flight
UA-1685 from Lihue,HI to Denver,CO (USA), was enroute at FL350 over the Pacific Ocean about 490nm northnortheast of Honolulu,HI (USA) when the crew decided to divert to Honolulu due to a hydraulic failure. The aircraft landed safely on Honolulu's runway 08R about 2:50 hours after departure.
Passengers reported the aircraft had departed with a delay of several hours due to a failed fan in the cargo area, which was eventually repaired. Enroute about one to two hours into the flight the captain announced hydraulic system #1 had failed and they would divert to Honolulu, closest airport at that point, for a landing without nose wheel steering available.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Honolulu for 43 hours, then positioned to Denver but has not yet returned to service about 5 hours after landing in Denver.
