WICHITA, Kan. — A United Airlines 757 made an emergency landing after an engine compressor stalled, emitting popping noises and making the plane shudder.
Flight 1607, en route from Miami to Denver with 171 passengers and eight crew members, landed Sunday at Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport, said Capt. Loyd Hamrick of Airport Public Safety. No one was injured.
United flew another 757 to Wichita from Denver to pick up the stranded passengers, Hamrick said.
