SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- A Continental Airlines MD-82 jet traveling from Las Vegas to Cleveland with 146 people aboard made an emergency landing after the crew reported trouble keeping the flight level.

Flight 1416 was carrying 141 passengers and five crew members when it landed about 4:30 p.m. Monday, authorities said. No one was injured.

The plane had been cruising at 33,000 feet when the crew reported a change in altitude of less than 1,000 feet, the airline said in a statement.

It was not known what caused the drop in altitude and repair crews were investigating, said Catherine Stengel, a Continental spokeswoman.
