Plane lands safely at Denver International Airport after hydraulic problems

DENVER - A United Airlines Airbus 320 landed safely this morning at Denver International Airport after the pilot notified traffic control he was having hydraulic problems.

The plane, which took off in Kansas City with 96 passengers and five crew members, landed at 6 a.m. with no injuries, said Megan McCarthy, a spokeswoman for United Airlines.

"The flight landed safely without issue," McCarthy said. "It was all very precautionary."

Emergency vehicles responded to the runway as a precaution but they were not needed, said Chuck Cannon, DIA spokesman.
