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