Emergency Landing Made by Jet to S.D.
A Southwest Airlines jet bound for San Diego returned to Sky Harbor International Airport, making an emergency one-engine landing Sunday, authorities said.
Flight 706, from Albuquerque, N.M., with 64 people aboard, took off from Phoenix shortly before 9 a.m. MDT and landed at 9:08 a.m., an airline clerk said.
The Boeing 737 landed without incident. No injuries were reported.
It was the second unscheduled stop for a Southwest jet in three days in Phoenix.
On Friday, a jet originating in Las Vegas and bound for El Paso and Lubbock, Tex., was diverted to Sky Harbor after one of its two engines malfunctioned. None of the 80 passengers or crew of five was injured.
