Pilot Reports Problem, Makes Emergency Landing. Plane With More Than 26 People On Board Lands Safely. Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP), Greer, South Carolina.

GREER, S.C. -- A plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport early Monday.

Dispatchers reported the pilot had taken off from GSP, but then requested to return about 6:20 a.m. due to what was described as a problem with the nose gear.

The situation was called out to emergency responders as an alert 2, level 4, which means a declared emergency involving a plane with 26 to 50 people onboard.

Fire trucks, with lights flashing, were seen on the tarmac before the plane touched down.

The plane landed about 6:40 a.m. without incident.

Official word from airport representative Rosylin Weston was expected later this morning.
