Cape Air Flight Makes Emergency Landing at Logan Airport in Boston
A Cape Air flight originating from Boston and headed to Bar Harbor, Maine, was forced to make an emergency landing at Logan Airport on Tuesday. The cause of the emergency landing was a landing gear issue that was detected shortly after takeoff, according to officials.
Cape Air Flight 1833 was supposed to depart from Logan Airport at 2:30 p.m. for an 80-minute flight to Bar Harbor. However, the pilot made the decision to divert back to Logan Airport after being alerted to the landing gear problem. Despite the unexpected turn of events, the plane was able to land safely back at the airport, and there were no reported injuries.
Details surrounding the landing gear issue were not immediately disclosed by officials. However, a spokesperson for Massport confirmed that the plane was carrying two passengers and one crew member at the time of the incident. The FAA also confirmed that the plane landed with three individuals on board and stated that an investigation into the emergency landing would be conducted.
During the emergency landing, emergency crews were deployed to the scene and were observed by SKY7-HD around 4 p.m. The small Cape Air plane was seen tilted on its side, with dirt scattered along part of the runway. The presence of emergency crews indicated that precautions were taken to ensure the safety of those on board and to assess any potential damages to the aircraft.
