Back-To-Back Emergency Landings At DFW Airport

Sept. 22, 2014

American Airlines reported back-to-back emergency landings at DFW International Airport early Monday as flights to Buenos Aires and Fresno were forced to return because of mechanical problems.

Two American Airlines flights made emergency landings within minutes of each other at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport early Monday morning, the Fort Worth-based airline says.

Investigators are also looking into a wing flap malfunction on Southwest Airlines Flight 1704. The flight went to nearby LAX because the airport has a longer runway and a maintenance base where the plane can be serviced.
