United Airlines apologized on Wednesday to a Muslim chaplain who said she was denied an unopened can of soda on an affiliated US domestic flight by an attendant who said it could be used as a weapon. United launched an investigation after Northwestern University associate chaplain Tahera Ahmad complained about the incident last week aboard a flight from Chicago to Washington that was operated by Shuttle America for United.
