A SkyWest flight departing from West Virginia International Yeager Airport made an emergency landing in Dayton, Ohio after passengers reported a burning smell and smoke on board.
The flight left West Virginia International Yeager Airport on Monday evening before making an emergency landing in Dayton , OH.
