Dhaka, May 13 -- A Spirit airlines flight carrying 182 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing mid-flight on Monday (May 12) morning after experiencing an autopilot malfunction.

According to local reports, the Airbus A320 departed Houston at approximately 6:30 a.m. en route to Orlando.

Around two hours into the flight, as the aircraft encountered turbulent weather conditions, the pilot informed passengers over the intercom that the autopilot system had failed and that the aircraft would need to divert.

The flight was rerouted to Pensacola International Airport, where it landed safely without incident. All 182 passengers on board were unharmed, and the aircraft taxied to the terminal normally.
