Syracuse, N.Y. — An American Airlines flight made an emergency landing at the Syracuse airport Saturday, the second unexpected landing by an American flight this week.
A flight from Rochester to Charlotte, North Carolina, diverted at 8:30 p.m. to the Syracuse Hancock International Airport, according to Onondaga County 911 Center dispatches.
Issues with pressurization in the cabin forced the Airbus A320 carrying 145 people to land a little more than an hour after it took off.
The airline’s flight tracker shows the plane diverted to Syracuse.
On Wednesday, a flight from Boston to Rochester landed at Hancock International for smoke in the cabin, according to airport officials.
It landed without incident. There were 51 people onboard.
Passengers were bused to Rochester, an American Airlines spokesperson said.
