According to the report, a large commercial plane with nearly 200 passengers was forced to perform an emergency landing in the middle of the flight. According to local outlets WEAR and WFTV, the Spirit Airlines flight, an Airbus A320 with 182 passengers, took off from Houston at around 6:30 a.m. bound for Orlando.

At around 8:30 a.m., just as the plane was passing through a pocket of inclement weather, the pilot reportedly came over the loudspeaker to inform the passengers that the autopilot was no longer working and that the plane would need to make an emergency landing. Instead of the intended destination of Orlando, the plane was forced to land at the Pensacola International Airport.

An employee told WEAR that the plane eventually made it to Orlando six hours after the expected arrival time due to the landing and repairs. The report said that there were no injuries were reported in the incident. Spirit Airlines did not provide any additional information.

Thank God there is no casualties! It is better to be late than late. Moreover, the pilot knows his job and deserves a hug.

I am also glad that the airforce pilot made an emergency landing. I'm also thankful that there were no damages though I know how the passengers feel for not reaching their destination to Orlando, Florida.
