The Federal Aviation Administration says the plane was diverted to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts.

The flight was diverted to burn fuel to make it safer in case the pilot needs to crash land.

The plane has about 3,700 gallons of fuel left to burn, according to air traffic control audio obtained by TMZ.
