An American Airlines flight to Dallas had to return to Omaha shortly after takeoff because of a mechanical problem with the right engine.
American Airlines flight 1349 landed safely in Omaha Tuesday morning shortly after it took off from Eppley Airfield around 8:20 a.m.
American Airlines spokesman Ed Martelle says 123 passengers and five crew members were aboard the MD-80. The passengers are being re-booked on other flights, so they can reach their destinations.
Martelle says the plane has been taken out of service until the problem can be identified and repairs made.
