    HALIFAX — A UPS plane that was diverted to Halifax because of mechanical problems has landed without incident.

    Spurway says emergency vehicles were standing by but the plane touched down uneventfully just before 10 a.m. local time.
     
    There were four people aboard, and Spurway says there are no reports of any injuries.
