A Fedex plane made an emergency landing at the King Salmon Airport today. The plane landed safely shortly before 1 o’clock this afternoon. The airport heard a call from a Fed Ex MD- 11 needing to land at the nearest available airport. The aircraft was flying from Incheon, South Korea to Anchorage with a crew of two. Scott Fiedler is a spokesperson for Fed Ex. He says the Fed Ex Express flight 92 experienced an unspecified technical issue. Aircraft maintenance crews were dispatched from Anchorage. Fiedler says the plane was carrying overnight packages from around Asia sent to the United States.
