SEATTLE (AP) - A Delta Airlines jetliner returned and landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Saturday morning after one of its two engines went out.

Airport spokesman Perry Cooper told The Associated Press the Boeing 737 was en route from Seattle to Orlando, Fla., when it left at 8:15 a.m. The plane returned to Sea-Tac at 8:47 a.m.

Cooper said the plane was ascending when an indicator light went on, showing an engine was out.

Cooper did not know how many passengers were on the plane. He said 737s can carry between 115 to 170 passengers.
