1 day ago

NEW YORK (AP) — A Delta Air Lines plane carrying 139 passengers has made an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport and officials say no one was hurt.

A Delta Air Lines spokesman says the crew received an indicator light warning of possible problems with the airplane's hydraulics, which power its wings and landing gear.

The MD-88 plane was headed from Orlando, Fla., to LaGuardia Airport. The spokesman says the five-member crew decided to land at JFK as a precaution because JFK has a longer runway.

The plane landed safely at 4:42 p.m. Monday Officials say they're checking the plane's systems.

Glad everyone is alright....seems like MCO-LGA has good loads if 139 out of 142 seats were filled on the MD-88.
