MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - A Frontier Airlines flight headed from Atlanta to Puerto was forced to make an emergency landing at Miami International Airport after experiencing a possible fuel leak.
Officials say Frontier Airlines flight 2802 was enroute to San Juan, Puerto Rico when it was forced to head west over Abaco in the Bahamas to make an emergency landing in Miami.
The Airbus A320 managed to land safely and was taken to Gate F18, where it was met by multiple fire trucks.
Officials have not determined the exact cause for the emergency landing but Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they believe the aircraft experienced a fuel leak from the central tank as it flew over the Atlantic.
Crews were seen inspecting the aircraft after passengers were able to safely disembark.
The flight, which was originally heading directly to San Juan, has since been able to take off from MIA shortly before 8:30 p.m. and is expected to land in Puerto Rico around midnight, Thursday.
The emergency landing did not impact airport operations.
The exact cause of the emergency landing is under investigation.
