DAYTON — A US Airways jet bound for Indianapolis from Charlotte, N.C., diverted to Dayton International Airport minutes ago after its crew reported a problem with the nose gear.
The Canadair Regional Jet landed safely Thursday, Nov. 12, at approximately 6:13 p.m., said Linda Hughes, spokeswoman for Dayton International.
The Dayton airport has a maintenance facility and a crew is checking the airplane to see if the 50 people who were on board will have to board another plane to finish the flight to Indiana, Hughes said.
The airport’s fire department was put on alert when the plane’s crew contacted the airport to report the problem, according to police and fire radio communications.
According to US Airways, the flight left Charlotte at 4:10 p.m.
