American Airlines flight from Charlotte has rough landing at Florida airport

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An American Airlines flight from Charlotte had a rough landing at a Florida airport Thursday night.

Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said Flight 2043 experienced a mechanical issue with its landing gear upon landing late Thursday at Palm Beach International Airport.

Feinstein said the Airbus A319 landed safely but had to be towed off the tarmac.

Brad Heisle of Boynton Beach said he heard a loud boom and the plane "started shaking like crazy" when it landed.

The flight from Charlotte carried 118 passengers and six crew members. Feinstein said no injuries were reported and the passengers were bused to the airport from the tarmac.

The airline took the aircraft out of service and canceled a 6 a.m. flight Friday from West Palm Beach to Philadelphia.
