According to officials, a flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Buffalo made an emergency landing in Rochester on Sunday owing to a gasoline leak.
According to United, pilots on GoJetAirlines flight 4583, which was flying as United Express, “encountered a probable fuel imbalance” and chose to divert to Greater Rochester International Airport, roughly 60 miles east of the plane’s destination.
