Detroit-Bound Flight's Engine Dies, Makes Emergency Landing at Jacksonville International Airport

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Delta Airlines flight with 142 people onboard has landed safely after an engine problem forced it to divert to Jacksonville.

Jacksonville International Airport spokesman Michael Stewart said an engine became non-operational.

Delta spokesperson Paul Skrbec said Flight 2092 left from Tampa and was heading to Detroit.

The captain, flying an MD 80 aircraft, diverted following normal procedures due to an indicator light that appeared.

Once ground maintenance at JIA inspects the plane, it will head back out to Detroit, said Skrbec.
