Problem Forces Delta Jet to Land at Syracuse

A Delta Air Lines regional jet going from Atlanta to Rochester made an emergency landing Sunday in Syracuse because of mechanical problems, said Anthony Mancuso, Syracuse's aviation commissioner.

No one was injured in the 3:30 p.m. landing at Hancock Airport.

Delta put its 36 passengers on a bus and sent them to Rochester, Mancuso said.

"The pilot had a flap problem. He was concerned enough to ask to land in Syracuse," Mancuso said.

Emergency crews were sent to Syracuse's airport.
