A Frontier Airlines plane that experienced mechanical problems has been moved from a runway at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City after it was stuck there for several hours on Thursday night.
The plane was moved about midnight and should be repaired today, airport spokesman Mark Kranenberg said.
"We're back to normal operations," Kranenberg told The Oklahoman this morning.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Passengers were removed from the Airbus 319-100 and taken to the terminal after they waited on a runway for two hours, Kranenberg said.
An editor with The Oklahoman who was on the plane said the pilot told passengers the aircraft's brakes locked up after touching down. The editor said one of the nosewheel tires had blown and the nosewheel structure was bent at a 90-degree angle.
The plane arrived from Denver, where 136 passengers were delayed after their scheduled flight was canceled.
