The operating crew made the decision to divert to nearby Raleigh Durham as a precaution. A descent and approach was then made to Raleigh/Durham International Airport (RDU).
The aircraft conducted a go around from the first approach and then entered a holding procedure.

According to the online source Aviation Herald, the flight crew reported the loss of both hydraulic systems during the aborted approach. As a result, they needed to assess whether they had sufficient runway length to conduct a flapless landing.
The aircraft was subsequently positioned for a second approach in flapless configuration at a higher approach speed. The aircraft made a full stop landing from the second approach attempt without further incident.

The passenger complement was disembarked with the aircraft on the runway and transported to the airport terminal.
A subsequent report by the FAA confirmed the report of the hydraulic issue, with the aircraft landing safely at Raleigh Durham International Airport at around 11:20 PM local time.
The FAA will now conduct an investigation into the incident.
