An American Airlines Boeing plane that was headed from Chicago to Las Vegas was forced to divert back following a mid-air emergency.
On Sunday, a Boeing 737-800 jet has to return to O’Hare airport after receiving multiple door warning light indications.
The airline stated that the return was the result of a “possible maintenance issue.”
“Flight 1047 returned to ORD for a possible maintenance issue,” an American spokesperson told Fox Business. “The flight landed safely and taxied to the gate.”
According to Flightaware, the flight took off a second time for Harry Reid International Airport just after noon, and was expected to land around 2 p.m. local time on a replacement aircraft.
