PHOENIX (CNN) -- A TWA MD-80 airliner made an emergency landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Friday evening after the crew reported problems with its hydraulic system.
There were 149 people on board the flight. No one was injured.
"The plane landed without incident, however a 'tug' had to come out and tow it to a gate," Suzanne Luber, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport spokesperson told CNN.
"Right now a crew is looking over the plane," Luber said.
One passenger told CNN affiliate, KSAZ, the pilot instructed them on how to remove a window if necessary.
This is the second MD-80 series plane that has made an emergency landing at the Phoenix airport in the last two weeks.
