SANFORD, Fla. (AP) – A plane with malfunctioning nose landing gear touched down safely at Orlando Sanford International Airport Thursday, officials said.

None of the 157 passengers on board the Allegiant Air flight from Portsmouth, N.H., were injured, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.

Passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft by slides. A woman sprained her ankle, but refused treatment, airport authorities said.

“The crew reported a hydraulics problem related to the nose gear,” Bergen said.

No other details were immediately available.
