The wing of a passenger plane landing at LaGuardia International Airport in New York struck the runway surface Sunday as it attempted a \u201cgo-around\u201d because of an unstable approach, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were no injuries, and the plane landed safely after the left wing struck the runway surface at around 10:10 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration and an airport spokesperson said Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delta Connection Flight 4814, with 80 people aboard, was operated by Endeavor Air, which is a subsidy of Delta Air Lines, Delta said in a statement. It was flying from Jacksonville, Florida, to LaGuardia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Endeavor Air flight crew followed established procedures to safely enact a go-around at New York-LaGuardia,\u201d Delta said. \u201cThe aircraft landed safely and proceeded to its arrival gate. We apologize to our customers for the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cgo-around\u201d was executed because of what the FAA said was an unstable approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The maneuver involves the airplane\u2019s stopping the landing approach and regaining altitude to make another attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plane was a CRJ-900 with 76 passengers, two pilots and two flight attendants, Delta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FAA said it will investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
