The Embraer E145 departed from Philadelphia, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said. The aircraft was being operated by Piedmont Airlines, a subsidiary of American, and "exited the taxiway while in transit to the terminal due to snowy airfield conditions," American Airlines told Fox News Digital in a statement.
No injuries were reported among the 50 passengers and three crew members on board, the airline said. The aircraft was expected to be towed from the taxiway and taken out of service to undergo a full inspection, American said.
