FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - An Allegiant flight originally bound for Key West International Airport (EYW) from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) was diverted and landed safely at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).
According to the flight tracking website flightradar24.com, the aircraft, an Airbus A319, was scheduled to land in Key West at 10:03 a.m. on Friday but touched down at FLL at around 10:45 a.m.
According to airline officials, the flight was diverted to FLL because the “visibility for landing at EYW was below the minimum standard required for a safe landing.”
However, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, the flight landed safely at FLL “after the crew reported a possible fuel issue.”
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue units were on standby to ensure a safe landing, and the aircraft landed without incident.
FAA officials said they are investigating.
