United Airlines jet is forced to make EMERGENCY LANDING after door light started flashing
A United Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after an open door light began flashing shortly after takeoff.
United Flight 2434 landed at Tampa International Airport at 4:35 p.m. Wednesday after taking off from Sarasota-Bradenton International at 3:42 p.m.
The plane had to divert to Tampa when a door indicator light came on, an airport spokesman said. The fire brigade arrived on the scene and more than 120 passengers got off the plane.
United said it is offering passengers assistance “to complete their journey as quickly as possible.”
The plane, a Boeing 737-900, is not the same type as the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 that made an emergency landing on Friday after its emergency door blew out at 16,000 feet.
