1 Hospitalized After Landing Gear Issue Forces American Airlines Flight To Abort Takeoff At DIA

At least one person was transported to the hospital after a Miami-bound American Airlines flight aborted takeoff from Denver International Airport Saturday.

American Airlines Flight 3023 reported a possible landing gear incident during departure from a DIA runway around 2:45 p.m., according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration.

American Airlines says a mechanical issue with a tire caused the issue

“All customers and crew deplaned safely, and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team,” the statement read.

The FAA is investigating the incident, which also prompted a short-lived ground stop at the airport.
