Fox News reports:

Officials with the Port Authority confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were no injuries or impact on airport operations.

The agency added that there were 76 customers, two pilots, and two flight attendants on board the flight at the time of the faulty landing.

The FAA explained that a “go-around is a safe, routine maneuver performed at the discretion of a pilot or at the request of an air traffic controller.”

“It discontinues the landing approach and returns the aircraft to an altitude and configuration to safely make another approach. The pilot and the air traffic controller are in full command of the situation,” the FAA said.

The FAA added that the information is preliminary at this time and that it will investigate the incident.

“The flight was operated by Endeavor, the same regional carrier as the Delta plane that crashed while landing in Toronto in February. The plane in that incident was also a CRJ-900,” Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote.
