DAYTON, Ohio -- A US Airways plane en route to Indianapolis was diverted to Dayton International Airport after the crew reported a problem with the landing gear.
Airline spokesman Todd Lehmacher says the Canadair Regional Jet landed safely at about 6 p.m. Thursday. Lehmacher says US Airways Express Flight 2582 was canceled and the passengers were transported by bus to Indianapolis.
Lehmacher says a crew at the airport's maintenance facility is checking the airplane to see what caused a "gear disagree" light to flash, prompting the precautionary landing.
Lehmacher says the Canadair Regional Jet took off from Charlotte, N.C. at about 4:10 p.m. The plane is owned by PSA, a wholly-owned subsidary of US Airways.
He says a maintenance crew is still examining the aircraft.
