An American Airlines flight landed safely in Los Angeles Wednesday night after the Boeing plane blew a tire during takeoff from Dallas, federal authorities said.
American Airlines flight 345, a Boeing 777 plane, took off from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and landed at Los Angeles International Airport without incident around 8:45 p.m. local time Wednesday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and American Airlines.
"The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally," the airline said in a statement sent to USA TODAY.
According to the airline, the pilots "received an indication that the pressure was low in one of the aircraft’s tires," before landing.
There were no immediate reports of injury to anyone on board.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
The blown tire is the latest incident to plague the aviation industry in recent weeks.
something(s) seems seriously wrong at Boeing. Still flying on 757s soon, but going to have to completely avoid their planes soon as many consumers are supposedly doing.
