All 174 passengers and six crew members, were safely evacuated to the terminal and no other flight operations were affected by the incident, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The passengers were then rebooked on other flights to Phoenix.
A United Airlines aircraft from Los Angeles to Denver lost a wheel upon takeoff on Monday but was able to land safely.
