By | August 8, 2024

New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport has resumed flights after a United Airlines plane made an emergency landing on Saturday morning, officials said.

United Flight 2098 left LaGuardia Airport around 8:30 a.m. It was traveling toward Houston when it experienced “hydraulics problems” and was forced to make the emergency landing at Newark, Port Authority said in a statement.

The plane’s two left main tires blew when landing and it experienced other structural damage, forcing the closure of the runway, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement. The agency said it is investigating.

The emergency landing comes two weeks after a plane skidded off the runway at Newark. The airport was forced to temporarily ground all other planes
