Havana, March 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Mar, 2023 ) :A US jetliner taking off from Cuba experienced engine trouble after hitting birds and returned to Havana for an emergency landing on Sunday, Cuban authorities said.
Smoke seeped into the cabin of the plane but no one was injured in the incident involving Southwest Airlines flight 3923 to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the airline and the Cuban civil aviation authority Cacsa said on its Facebook page.
The Boeing 737 was carrying 147 passengers and a crew of six, Southwest Airlines said in a statement to AFP.
It said birds struck one of the plane's engines and its nose shortly after takeoff.
