A Boeing 737-800 operated by United Airlines made an emergency landing in Atlanta after one of its engines shut down inflight on Wednesday. The aircraft arrived safely, but the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it would investigate the matter.

The flight was enroute to Houston. United quickly made arrangements to deploy a replacement aircraft to continue the flight, but it did cause a minimal impact to its operation.

Details of the incident
The plane, registered as N76528, was operating as UA575 from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) with 138 passengers onboard. According to FlightAware, the aircraft pushed back from gate A25 at 06:53, seven minutes early from its scheduled departure at 07:00. It taxied for 16 minutes to Runway 36C and was airborne by 07:09. The aircraft quickly gained altitude and speed, making it to its cruising altitude of 30,000 feet just 15 minutes after takeoff.
