Donald Trump's plane, nicknamed Trump Force One, was forced to make an emergency landing at the Nashville International Airport on Wednesday.

The Republican presidential candidate's Boeing B757 was flying from Iowa to Arkansas when the aircraft experienced engine problems.

The plane landed safely, the FAA said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. Trump was headed to meet Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson at the time of the incident.

Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump's campaign, said the delay was caused by a "minor mechanical issue" and that Trump continued on to his destination on a small charter aircraft. Trump was traveling from New York City to Little Rock, Ark.
