NEW YORK Flight 141, which was bound for Salt Lake City, circled Kennedy
for several hours to burn off fuel, then dumped extra fuel over a
nearby body of water before landing, said Alan Hicks, a spokesman
for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees
the airport.
Passengers were taken by bus back to a terminal.
A spokeswoman for Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. said there
were no injuries. She said maintenance workers would inspect the
plane, a Boeing 737-800, and passengers would be rebooked on other
flights.
She said she didn't know when the tires were last checked or
replaced.
