“The runway is closed and Airport is working to remove the aircraft. There were no injuries reported and the passengers were bussed to the terminal. We are anticipating operational impacts due to the runway closure,” the CLT Airport said in a released statement.
The Delta aircraft, a Boeing 717-2BD, took off from Atlanta (ATL) to Charlotte (CLT) Wednesday and circled CLT Airport multiple times before landing.
According to Delta, two pilots, three flight attendants and 96 passengers were on board.
