NEW YORK CITY (BNO NEWS) -- A Delta Air Lines flight made a safe emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on late Sunday afternoon, officials said.

Delta Air Lines Flight 30 had declared an emergency after having unspecified engine problems. "There is some sort of engine problem with the plane," a spokesman for the New York City Fire Department said while the aircraft was still in the air.

The spokesman said the plane, a Boeing 767-300 with nearly 200 passengers on board, was dumping fuel before it attempted to make an emergency landing at JFK Airport. Delta Flight 30 had just begun a flight from New York to Moscow when its trouble began.

The aircraft landed safely at approximately 5.50 p.m. EST, without any reports of injuries.

Further details were not immediately available.
