Report: Danish plane lands safely after emergency

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Police say a charter plane with 145 people on board has landed safely in Denmark after reporting a landing gear malfunction.

Danish TV footage on Friday showed the Boeing 737 belonging to charter airline Jettime touching down on the runway at Copenhagen airport and taxiing to a gate. More than a dozen rescue vehicles followed the plane.

Police say the plane took off from western Denmark and was headed to the Canary Islands when the pilot reported a landing gear malfunction.

Copenhagen Police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch says two Danish Air Force F-16 jets were sent up to check the plane and confirmed there was a problem with the landing gear.
