A Delta flight carrying 33 passengers and three crew members landed safely Wednesday afternoon. No injuries were reported.

A spokesman for regional jet operator Pinnacle Airlines says the main passenger door was making a noise. He says the flight was cancelled and passengers were booked into hotels because the crew had reached the maximum time allowed to remain on duty. The passengers are expected to fly to Quebec on Thursday.

Earlier in the day a Chicago-bound United Airlines regional jet made an emergency landing at the two-runway Burlington International Airport shortly after takeoff.

United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson says a cockpit indicator light erroneously alerted the flight crew to smoke in the cargo hold. He says passengers flew in a different plane to Chicago and landed safely.
