The plane returned to Austin Straubel where it made an emergency landing about a half-hour later.

Sixty-five passengers and a crew of four evacuated the plane on the taxiway using a set of stairs

They were taken to the terminal where a medical crew checked everyone. No one was transported to the hospital.
