JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Frontier Flight 917 en route to Orlando from Trenton, N.J., landed safely in Jacksonville Wednesday morning after it was diverted to Jacksonville International Airport with engine problems, according to the Jacksonville Aviation Authority.
Frontier officials said one of the plane's two engines shut down because of hydraulic pressure issues, forcing the emergency landing around 9 a.m.
