FAA spokesman Ian McGregor told The Denver Post that the plane landed safely at Denver International Airport at 8:42 p.m. Friday.
The flight's destination was Salt Lake City International Airport.
McGregor says hail pelted the plane, damaged its nose cone and cracked its windshield.

"We could see lightning spider-webbing over the wings and hail pounding the plane," he said.
"Babies were crying. Some young teens behind me were screaming and crying."
The federal agency continues to investigate.
