BURLINGTON, Vt. -- A plane made an emergency landing at Burlington International Airport on Wednesday.

Air Georgian flight number 7435 -- operated by Air Canada -- was en route to Montreal from Connecticut when the pilot made an emergency landing in Burlington. The airline said the engine pressure was low, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing.

There were 14 people on board, 12 of whom were passengers.
