Frontier Airlines Airbus 318 carrying 114 passengers and crew landed safely after being diverted shortly after takeoff from John Wayne Airport because a light indicated a cargo door was unlatched, officials said.

Flight 263, bound for Denver, took off from John Wayne Airport at 11:11 a.m. and the pilot reported that the cargo door indicator light had come on, said FAA spokesman Mike Fergus. The plane was directed to burn off its excess fuel and return to John Wayne Airport.

Emergency equipment and personnel from the Orange County Fire Authority were positioned at the John Wayne runway in case of an accident, but they were told to stand down at about 11:25 a.m. when the flight was diverted to Los Angeles International Airport.

Thanks for the response - I think the Captains out there in such situations would be grateful to have one less thing to worry about in an emergency - it should be a matter of course to shut off the TVs.
