MYFOXNY.COM - An AirTran jet heading from LaGuardia to Akron, Ohio, had to abort takeoff Wednesday evening because of some kind of mechanical trouble, sources said.

Flight 206 had 114 passengers and 5 crew members on board, the FAA said. No one was hurt. Emergency crews responded and escorted the plane back to the gate.

The Port Authority said a smoke condition was reported on the plane around 9:30 p.m. Passengers told Fox 5's Dick Brennan that they heard a loud noise when the jet was taxiing down Runway 13, which was closed for a time.
