CHANTILLY, Va. — An American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles has made an unscheduled stop in Washington.

Courtney Mickalonis, a spokeswoman for Dulles International Airport, says the plane landed safely at 12:40 p.m.

American spokesman Tim Smith says Flight No. 3 from Kennedy Airport made the detour because a cockpit warning light showed that one of the rear cargo doors was not fully secure. He says mechanics are dealing with the problem, and the plane should continue on its way shortly.

The Boeing 767-200 is carrying 152 passengers.
