The pilot of the plane, called Trump Force One, declared an emergency but did not ask for assistance, CBS News reported. A source reported that the right engine became stuck in neutral.

Trump boarded a smaller charter jet and continued to his destination in Arkansas.

No injuries were reported and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.

Trump was traveling to Arkansas to attend a campaign rally.

"Just making a quick pit stop. Welcome to BNA, @realDonaldTrump!" Nashville International Airport tweeted Wednesday.

Trump's jet was built in 1991 and was formerly used to charter Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
