Six people sustain minor injuries after American Airlines flight experiences a 'rough landing' in Maui.

 Six individuals were taken to the hospital for minor injuries and later released following a 'hard landing' incident involving an American Airlines jetliner at Kahului Airport in Maui, Hawaii, on Saturday, according to statements from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the airline.

The FAA reported that the American Airlines Airbus A320 experienced a 'hard landing' on a runway around 2 p.m. local time. Those hospitalized included one passenger and five flight attendants, as confirmed by American Airlines in a separate statement.

Flight 271, originating from Los Angeles International Airport, encountered an issue upon landing, according to the airline. Despite the incident, the aircraft was able to taxi to the gate independently, and passengers disembarked in a normal manner.

At the time of the incident, Maui's weather was reported as partly cloudy and windy, with a temperature of around 80 degrees, according to National Weather Service data.

The aircraft, carrying 167 customers and seven crew members, was taken out of service for inspection, as announced by American Airlines. The airline emphasized that the safety of customers and team members is their top priority.

The FAA stated that it is conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the incident.

According to information from the Maui airport, the flight was scheduled to arrive at 12:47 p.m., but it arrived approximately 79 minutes later. Flight data also revealed that the plane spent over an hour on taxiways at LAX before taking off, but it's not immediately clear why this delay occurred or if it was related to the subsequent hard landing upon arrival.
