PHILADLEPHIA (WPVI) -- The U.S. Airways flight from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv had to return to the airport on Friday morning after a problem developed in the air.

Flight 797 took off early Friday but developed an engine vibration.

It landed safely back at Philadelphia International Airport.

Because the plane never made it overseas, its return flight from Tel Aviv is also cancelled.

There were 221 passengers and 14 crew members on board.

No injuries were reported.

This comes after flights across the country to Tel Aviv were cancelled over security concerns amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
