An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in California Wednesday evening after its pilot reported a possible mechanical issue, the airline said.
Flight 345, which took off from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, reported the issue with the Boeing 777 plane and ultimately landed at the Los Angeles International Airport at approximately 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday without any incident, American Airlines said in a statement on Thursday.
“The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally,” it added.
This is at least the sixth reported incident involving a Boeing plane in the past week.
“There are some reports that it was a blown tire, but American is not confirming that,” FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone reported Thursday morning.
FOX Business reached out to Boeing for additional information, but a Boeing spokesperson deferred to American Airlines. FOX Business also reached out to American Airlines, but a response was not immediately received.
