Passenger jet makes emergency landing in Idaho

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A warning light signaling an engine fire prompted the pilots of a chartered passenger jet to make an emergency landing in Boise.

Boise Airport officials say the Sun Country Airlines flight landed at about 4 p.m. Thursday, but emergency response crews found no evidence of a fire.

The Boeing 737 was traveling from Lewiston in northern Idaho to Laughlin, Nevada, when the warning light came on. No one was injured.

Boise officials didn’t have details on the number of passengers, or when they would continue to Nevada.

A Sun Country Airlines spokesman didn’t return a call from The Associated Press on Friday.
