An American Airlines jet that had reported hydraulic problems landed safely Saturday night at O'Hare International Airport, officials said.
The plane, Flight 336 from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, was a McDonald Douglas MD-80 with 129 people aboard, officials said.
It was initially scheduled to land about 7:10 p.m. but touched down about 9:23 p.m., according to American's Web site. It had departed about a half-hour late, the Web site indicated.
The flight crew reported a hydraulic problem before the plane landed, an O'Hare spokeswoman said late Saturday. No other details were available about the problem.
An American spokesman could not be reached Saturday night.
