The flight “experienced a hard landing” and the Clark County Fire Department responded immediately, said Amanda Mazzagatti, airport program administrator at Harry Reid.

The plane landed safely and all passengers and crew members on board were evacuated using the airstairs. They were then bussed to the terminal.

No injuries were reported, according to the airline and the airport.

The incident occurred at approximately 4:20 p.m. local time. A ground stop was in effect at the airport until 7 p.m. Saturday, according to the FAA.
