Delta flight 1092 made an emergency landing at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT) Wednesday morning after the plane’s nose gear did not go down. No injuries to customers or crew were reported.

The flight, operated on a Boeing 717, departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 7:25 a.m. EDT. As it approached CLT, pilots received a “nose gear unsafe” indication. The crew initiated a missed approach procedure to further investigate the indication.

After a series of maneuvers and ongoing communication with CLT air traffic controllers to further trouble shoot the indication, pilots landed the plane at CLT, with the nose gear up, at 8:58 a.m. EDT. After the plane came to a stop on the runway, the flight attendants led customers through a safe evacuation via emergency slides. There were 96 customers and five crew members on board.

Ed Bastian, Chief Executive Officer at Delta said in a statement:
