Jet makes safe emergency landing at LAX
February 13, 2009

LOS ANGELES -- Authorities say an Air Pacific jetliner has made a safe
emergency landing after it was forced to return to Los Angeles
International Airport.

Airport police Sgt. Daniel Vaughn says the Boeing 747, carrying 441
passengers and crew, landed safely shortly before 2:30 a.m. Friday.

A Federal Aviation Administration official says Flight 811 was heading
to the Fiji Islands when it had to return because of a reported "fuel
transfer problem." The official did not have details.

The police sergeant, however, says a report indicated the plane was overweight.

Neither official could immediately say whether the passengers were
still at the airport or had taken other flights.

Other flights were not disrupted.
