An airplane that had trouble with its landing gear has landed without incident at the Myrtle Beach International Airport, according to an airport official.

Lauren Morris, the airport’s spokeswoman, confirmed the incident Monday evening.

Julie Wilsey, deputy director of the Wilmington International Airport, said the flight from Wilmington was heading to Atlanta when it was diverted to Myrtle Beach because of a problem with the wing flap.
