An American Airlines plane that departed from Pittsburgh International Airport Thursday morning was forced to turn around due to an “aircraft issue,” according to an airport spokesman.
American Airlines flight 1845 was headed to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, but returned to Pittsburgh “shortly after takeoff,” Pittsburgh International Airport spokesman Bob Kerlik said.
The plane took off just before 8 a.m. It safely landed in Pittsburgh at 8:28 a.m., Kerlik said.
He referred additional questions to American Airlines, which did not immediately respond to a TribLive inquiry.
