A Delta Air Lines flight rolled off the runway at JFK after it made an emergency landing on Wednesday. A cockpit indicator signaled that there was a problem with the hydraulic system, leading the pilot to make the unscheduled landing. The plane then rolled into a grassy area at the New York airport.

Flight 886 was carrying 118 passengers and five crew members as it made its way from Atlanta to New York's LaGuardia Airport, however it came short of its destination as it diverted to John F. Kennedy International Airport instead when the issue came about. Note, JFK has longer runways. The plane landed without issues, however the plane rolled into the grass while taxiing after landing, Reuters reports.

"It wasn't traveling fast when it happened," Delta spokeswoman Leslie Scott said according to Reuters. "They landed normally at JFK, but once they were taxiing to the gate, the aircraft exited the taxi-way and ended up in the grassy area."

Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries. The passengers on the plane disembarked and were taken to a terminal by shuttle according to Scott.
The plane, a twin-engine, single-aisle McDonnell Douglas MD-88, had left Atlanta at 6:45 p.m. and landed at JFK at around 9 p.m.

The pilot saw that a cockpit indicator was detecting a problem with the hydraulic system, which controls many systems in the plane -- including the brakes. The indicator came on while the 147-ft plane was starting to descend into New York.

The plane was towed out of the grass and Delta maintenance crews are evaluating the aircraft to determine what set the indicator off and if there was indeed a mechanical failure. The FAA and Port Authority are also investigating.
