Airport officials say US Airways flight 4785 operated by Colgan Air was traveling from Boston to Plattsburgh when the pilot reported difficulties in one of the two turbo-prop engines. As a precaution, the pilot shut that engine down, and was able to land safely in Plattsburgh.
The aircraft was a Saab 340B which can seat 31 people though only 12 people were on this flight: nine passengers, and three crew.
Fire trucks and other emergency crews were called to the airport as precaution, but the plane landed safely, without any injuries or damage.
A US Airways representative said technicians are examining the engine to see what caused the problem.
