Plane lands safely after diversion to Tri-State Airport

June 11, 2008 @ 10:15 AM

CEREDO — A Cleveland-bound flight was forced to make an unscheduled landing at Tri-State Airport this morning. The plane landed without incident, according to Airport Fire Chief Kevin Price.

The plane had taken off from Yeager Airport in Charleston. It was diverted to Tri-State Airport. Some of those on board noticed a vibration in the back of the aircraft after takeoff.

Wayne County 911 received word of the problem at 8:12 a.m. Emergency crews cleared the scene about 8:33 a.m.

Price said the plane had a “minor control problem.” He said it will be a while before the plane resumes flight.
