A SkyWest passenger plane made an emergency landing at Mitchell International Airport with only two of its three sets of landing gear activated, an airport spokeswoman said.
The aircraft landed safely shortly after 5 p.m. after notifying the airport of a landing gear problem, airport spokeswoman Pat Rowe said.
There were no reports of injuries aboard the plane, which was en route to Milwaukee from Omaha, Rowe said.
Passengers aboard the plane disembarked late Tuesday afternoon and the aircraft was to undergo a complete inspection, Rowe said.
The plane's flight number was AirTran 3074; AirTran and SkyWest have a marketing agreement, Rowe said.
The aircraft, a CRJ200 with 36 passengers and three crewmembers on board, landed with its left landing gear up, according to a statement from SkyWest that said the carrier will conduct an investigation of the incident.
SkyWest spokeswoman Brooke Keith said the aircraft is owned by SkyWest and identified the flight as SkyWest flight 3074.
The incident will also be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, Rowe said.
