MD80 Flight From Tampa to Dallas Makes Emergency Landing in Miami

The Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) - An American Airlines MD80 made an emergency landing Tuesday at Miami International Airport after the crew found problems with the nose gear.

Flight 1139 left Tampa International Airport at 6:32 a.m. headed for Dallas before it turned around because the nose gear door would not close, said American Airlines spokeswoman Cathy Chapman.

The plane, carrying 133 passengers and six crewmembers, landed safely in Miami, she said. There were no injuries.

The passengers changed planes and arrived in Dallas at 2:01 EST.

American maintains a hub at Miami.
