Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox’s plane forced to make emergency landing - NEWS.com.au

A private jet carrying Jennifer Aniston has been forced to make an emergency landing, according to multiple outlets.

The actress was reportedly on a flight headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico when her plane circled back and landed at an airport in Ontario, California, reports People magazine, citing a source. Per TMZ, Aniston’s close pal and former Friends co-star Courteney Cox was also on the flight.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told TMZ a flight departed Los Angeles International Airport around 11am and during takeoff lost a wheel or a tyre.

The gossip site reports the plane was already over Mexican airspace, but the crew decided it wouldn’t be safe to land, and the aircraft was subsequently diverted to Ontario International Airport.

However, the plane didn’t touch down until around 2.05pm because the pilot reportedly had to circle for hours, burning off fuel until it was considered safe to land.

In a statement to Fox News, an FAA spokesman said: “A Gulfstream G4, tail number N729TY, lost a wheel or tyre while departing from LAX. The aircraft departed without incident and circled near Ontario International Airport (ONT) to burn fuel. The plane landed at ONT without incident, with the gear down, shortly after 2pm. The plane’s planned destination was Cabo San Lucas.”

The FAA added it could not provide information as to who was on the plane.

According to TMZ, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s wife, Molly, and actor Jason Bateman’s wife, Amanda Anka, were headed to Cabo to celebrate Aniston’s 50th birthday.
