AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT BY A SOUTHWEST AIRLINES FLIGHT ON SUNDAY NIGHT. TWO PEOPLE ON BOARD THE JET HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, ACCORDING TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THE FLIGHT WAS FLYING FROM PHOENIX TO DALLAS, BUT IT HAD TO BE DIVERTED TO ALBUQUERQUE WHEN THERE WERE REPORTS OF SMOKE IN THE CABIN. THE JET MADE A SAFE LANDING AROUND 8PM SUNDAY. OFFICIALS THINK THE SMOKE WAS POSSIBLY CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL FIRE.
IT WAS THE SECOND EMERGENCY LANDING AT THE SUNPORT THIS PAST WEEKEND. A DELTA FLIGHT WAS FORCED TO LAND AFTER A BIRD … POSSIBLY A HAWK … HIT THE JET’S ENGINE … WHICH IS NOT COMMON AT THE SUNPORT.
