US Airways Express Flight Makes Emergency Landing due to Cracked Windshield

US AirwaysA US Airways express flight made an emergency landing at Burlington International Airport, Vermont, on March 26.

The plane was heading from Philadelphia to Montreal when the pilot reported a windshield crack and requested an emergency landing. According to Burlington airport operations foreman Doug Wood, “The crack was reportedly getting larger and working its way down the windshield, so the pilots elected to get the plane on the ground as soon as possible and have it inspected before they did lose the windshield.”

The plane landed uneventfully and all 50 passengers aboard remained safe.

The airline said passengers will be transported to Montreal via bus.
