SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A commuter plane carrying 105 passengers landed safely in Syracuse this morning after pilots smelled something burning, an official said.
JetBlue Flight 115 returned to Syracuse Hancock International Airport shortly after taking off at 6:09 a.m. after pilots smelled burning wires, said Christina Callahan, the airport's executive director.
The flight was headed for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
The plane made an emergency landing around 6:26 a.m., Callahan said. No one was injured, and smoke was not visible inside the plane, she said.
Multiple emergency responders rushed to Syracuse Hancock International Airport to meet the plane, according to dispatch logs.
Soon after the plane landed around 6:26 a.m., firefighters said there were no apparent problems, scanner reports said.
Aside from the Syracuse Police Department and the Syracuse Fire Department, all other ambulance, firefighter and police crews were released from the scene.
Members of the North Syracuse Fire Department, Rural Metro and New York State Police also responded to the airport, dispatch logs showed. At least three other fire departments were put on standby.
The emergency landing happened a week after a flight headed for Boston was diverted to Syracuse after a pilot fell ill and died.
