The plane was carrying 31 passengers and three crew members. U.S.
Airways spokesman Davien Anderson told CNN that no injuries were reported.
US Express Flight 4560, operated by Piedmont Airlines, took off
from Philadelphia around 11 p.m. Friday night.
The plane reported a landing
gear issue upon approach to Newark and stuck with a holding pattern before
landing on its belly around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, an hour after it was
scheduled to arrive. Upon landing, passengers and crew members were evacuated.
They were transported to the terminal where they gathered their luggage and
departed the airport, Anderson said.
An investigation into the matter is ongoing. US Airways is fully
cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board, Anderson said.
