EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - A private plane made a belly landing Thursday evening at Atlantic City International Airport, but neither occupant was injured, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said.

The Cessna aircraft with two people on board landed at 5:51 p.m. without its landing gear in position, and emergency crews were called to the scene, said FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker. Both occupants of the aircraft were apparently unhurt and were walking outside the downed plane. No fuel spills were reported.

Runway 13 remained closed Thursday evening while crews worked, but the second runway was open and there were no serious flight delays reported, Baker said.

Crews could be seen working from the upper level of the parking garage Thursday evening, and a Spirit Airlines plane appeared to be taxiing for takeoff.
