NEWARK, NJ (AP) – An American Airlines Boeing 737 Max made an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday afternoon after pilots noticed a possible problem with an engine oil pressure indicator.
An airline spokesman said the Miami plane landed safely and ran to the gate on its own. She said there were no injuries among the 95 passengers and six crew members.
The Boeing Max was grounded worldwide for almost two years after two accidents in which 346 people died. Investigators focused on a flight control system, not on the engines.
Federal regulators approve changes Boeing made changes to the flight system, and American started flying with its Max jets again late. Since then, United and Alaska Airlines have placed passengers on Max planes, and Southwest Airlines plans to resume flights with the planes next week.
