The incident happened when the plane was heading to Portland from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with 54 people aboard.

According to the Portland Fire Department spokesman Tim Nangle, the pilot of the CRJ 200 aircraft radioed the Portland tower at 8:35 p.m., and communicated that the flaps of the aircraft were not working properly.

The plane landed without incident and after inspection was later declared safe to make a return flight to Philadelphia.
