COLONIE — A United flight carrying 41 passengers had to turn around from its Newark destination and land at the Albany International Airport Sunday afternoon after an engine appeared to be malfunctioning.
Flight 5001, run by Commutair, took off from Albany International around 1:45 p.m., but the pilot radioed that it had to return eight minutes into the flight because the second engine was running out of sync, said airport spokesman Doug Myers. The plane was a smaller, twin engine turbo propeller plane.
Airport rescue and firefighting was ready on the ground, but the plane landed and taxied to Gate A2 without incident, Myers said. Mechanics were inspecting the problem Sunday.
