An American Airlines flight returned to the Mineta San Jose International Airport on Monday morning after experiencing a mechanical problem, airport officials said.
At about 11 a.m., flight 2049 to Phoenix returned shortly after take-off, landed and taxied safely back to a gate, according to airport spokeswoman Keonnis Taylor.
A statement from the airline said the plane, an Airbus 320, returned to the airport "due to a possible mechanical issue."
A maintenance team is evaluating the plane and the airline is working to re-book its passengers, according to the statement.
