CLEVELAND (AP) -- American Airlines says engine trouble on a flight to Dallas forced its plane to turn around shortly after takeoff in Cleveland.

American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely says the plane carrying 139 passengers and five crew members landed safely after returning to Cleveland Friday afternoon.

She says they're now working to get passengers on other flights.

A spokesman for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport says the MD-80's engine had failed and that people on the ground reported seeing a problem just after flight 1295 left the ground.
