iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — A plane is attempting to make an emergency landing in Massachusetts after blowing two tires during takeoff at Teterboro airport in New Jersey, authorities said.
The plane, a Gulfstream Aerospace GLF-4 aircraft, was being diverted to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Massachusetts, a Federal Aviation Administration official told ABC News.
It was originally heading to London’s Luton Airport and took off around 10:50 a.m., the FAA said.
Sixteen people are on board the aircraft, which is a jet mainly flown for private and business use, ABC-owned station WABC-TV reported.
