A United Aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚirlines jet cut short a flight on Wednesday and landed in Tampa, Florid🐬a, after pilots were alerted about a possible issue with a door, according to an airport spokesperson.
The plane took off later “after the issue was addressed,” the airline said on Thursday. The plane involved was an Airbus A319. Last week, a plug that takes the place of a door on some🀅 Boeing Max 9 jetliners blew off an Alaska Airlines plane shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon.
A spokesperson for the Tampa airp💎ort said the initial report to emergency dispatchers was that the plane diverted because a door indicator light turned on. Fire crews met the plane. A United spokesperson said🦂 the flight, from Sarasota, Florida, to Chicago, diverted to Tampa “as a precaution ... to address a possible mechanical issue. The flight landed safely and later re-departed after the issue was addressed.”
The plane carried 123 pass𓂃engers and five crew members and was airborne for less than an hour, according to data from tracking se🌳rvice FlightAware. The diversion was reported earlier by WFLA-TV.
