The failure in one of its engines caused the emergency return of a Spirit Airlines flight in the United States. Said flight (No. 438) was headed to the Henry E. Rohlsen airport in Santa Cruz, in the Virgin Islands.
However, he had to make an emergency landing at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, in South Florida. This was confirmed by a press release from Local 10 News.
For its part, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the plane’s crew reported a possible engine problem. This was at approximately 12:45 pm on Saturday.
The plane took off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 12:14 p.m. and landed at 1:11 pm. This was announced by the FlightAware flight tracking platform.
What is known regarding this event?
The FAA is currently investigating the matter and the possible causes that originated it. The good news is that no injuries were reported on board the plane.
The truth is that recently in the United States several incidents have occurred in different airlines, which has generated commotion among passengers.
For example, in late June, a Delta Airlines plane landed at the North Carolina airport without its front wheels. Fortunately, this incident did not result in casualties among the crew or passengers.
It was a Boeing 717 that managed to land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport without the landing gear extended.
As if that were not enough, another ship from this company was also involved in a dangerous accident at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts.
In this case, two United Airlines and Delta aircraft were damaged. Both planes had passengers inside, but fortunately, there were no injuries or serious damage to their fuselage or wings.
