Donald Trump's jet makes emergency landing in Tennessee

Campaign spokesperson says Trump traveled the rest of the way in a small charter aircraft

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's plane made an emergency landing in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday because of engine trouble, officials said.

The Boeing 757 was flying to Little Rock, Arkansas, from New York when it landed at Nashville International Airport.



Trump traveled the rest of the way in a small charter aircraft, a campaign spokeswoman said.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Trump's plane landed safely at 4:40pm after reporting engine problems. The agency will investigate the incident, it said.



Trump eventually arrived an hour and a half late in Little Rock where was addressed more than 11,500 people.

He said it was "rough" getting there but insisted there was "no way" he would return to New York instead of continuing on to Little Rock. "I love Arkansas," he said.
