Bahamasair Flight Returns to Fort Lauderdale International Airport

downloadBahamasair flight 142, en route to Freeport, Grand Bahama, returned to the Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Florida, immediately after taking off on June 30, due to some mechanical problems in one of its engines.

The plane, carrying 27 passengers including 25 adults and 2 infants, made an uneventful emergency landing. The passengers were provided free meals and were transferred to another aircraft.

Bahamasair Company General Manager Henry Woods said that the company technicians in Fort Lauderdale are working to make the plane fully functional.

“The pilots are trained to handle these sorts of situations. Realising a reduction in engine power, the pilot aborted the flight. The engines are still under warranty so the manufacturer has advised us to change two of the main components,” he said.
