A plane operated by Italy's Alitalia made an emergency landing at an international airport in northeastern Brazil Thursday. No one was injured in the incident.
The plane, a Boeing 777-200, landed at the Guararapes International Airport in the city of Recife at around 2:15 a.m. (0515 GMT), the Brazilian Airports Authority (Infraero) said.
According to Infraero, the plane, with 295 people on board, had left Rome for the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.
Some mechanical problems forced its pilots to make the emergency landing in Brazil.
All passengers and crew members have been taken to local hotels, where they are waiting for another plane to take them to Argentina, Infraero said.
Alitalia, which presented a bankruptcy report last month, has been operating under a six-month provisional license since Sept. 2.
