A Newark bound United Airlines flight from England had to land in Canada Thursday due to a cracked windshield.
A United Airlines flight from Scotland to Newark Liberty airport was forced to make an emergency landing in Canada, an airline official said.
Flight 162 from Glasgow, to New Jersey, landed safely Thursday morning at Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada, said Sarah Mack, a United spokeswoman. The Boeing 757 was diverted after the crew reported a crack in the windshield, she said.
None of the 164 people aboard were injured.
"We are working to get customers of United flight 162 to Newark and their final destinations," Mack said. "The flight landed safely and we accommodated customers on a new aircraft to Newark."
