A representative for the Philadelphia International Airport confirmed to Fox News that the plane landed safely on Tuesday morning. No injuries were reported.
The FAA said it will investigate the incident.
The Philadelphia International Airport was also the site of Southwest Flight 1380's emergency landing in April, after one engine blew apart on a flight from New York to Dallas. Schrapnel from the engine had also pieced a window, causing a passenger to be partially blown out of the aircraft. The passenger, Jennifer Riordan, was later declared dead at a Pennsylvania hospital.
