Donald Trump's plane had to make an emergency landing in New Orleans not long after taking off from the Louisiana city after the aircraft suffered an engine failure over the Gulf of Mexico.
The pilot turned the plane around and landed on Saturday just before 11 pm, according to Politico.
After his visit to the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, the plane was set to take Mr Trump home to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where he spoke at a private event for top GOP donors, hosted by the Republican National Committee.
The plane had travelled around 75 miles from New Orleans Lakefront Airport, reaching 28,000 feet 8,534 metres before being forced to return to the airport, according to data from ADSBexchange.com.
The plane, a Dassault Falcon 900, was also transporting Secret Service agents, support staff, as well as some of Mr Trump's advisors. One of the engines failed, according to The Washington Post.
The tracking data revealed that the plane began in Texas, flying to Palm Beach and then on to New Orleans.
The flight map shows that the aircraft was over the water when it turned around, flying back to the city and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
An air traffic controller told the pilot as the plane came in for landing that there will be vehicles following you down the runway.
