At 7:00 p.m. the pilots, having noticed a problem with one of the engines, decided to turn around and began the descent of the plane for an emergency landing.

The plane landed without damage at Toussaint Louverture International Airport at 7:17:51pm where all emergency services, firefighters and ambulance had been mobilized.
