MD83 of American Airlines Makes Emergency Landing
Leaking oil forced an American Airlines plane to make an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
Airport officials said the pilot noticed the leak shortly after taking off from Raleigh for Chicago around 8:15 a.m. Sunday. The first attempt at an emergency landing was scrapped, but the pilot brought the plane down safely as emergency crews stood by on the second attempt.
Authorities say none of the 138 passengers on the MD-83 jet were injured.

Ryanair warn of low profits
Ryanair Holdings Plc Europe’s biggest discount airline, predicted earnings will fall this year as a slowing European economy prevents it from increasing fares sufficiently to make up for surging jet-fuel costs.
Net income rose 25 percent to 502.6 million euros ($643 million) in the 12 months to March 31, Ryanair said today in a statement. That figure may slip to between 400 million euros and 440 million euros this year, the Dublin-based company said.
