JACKSON, Miss. —
A Continental Express flight from Houston to Jackson landed at a private airfield seven miles from the commercial airport where it was due.
The plane, carrying 33 passengers, landed Thursday night at Hawkins Field rather than Jackson International Airport in nearby Rankin County, airline spokeswoman Peggy Mahoney said.
She said the crew was grounded today while officials tried to determine what went wrong.
