Las Vegas to Portland flight makes emergency landing
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -- An Alaska Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Portland made an emergency landing at Klamath Falls Airport after the crew noticed a hot electrical smell in the cabin.
Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said the pilot of the Boeing 737-800 declared an emergency and landed safely before noon Thursday.
The 136 passengers were put on a replacement plane flown in from Seattle and were on their way in about five hours.
Egan said maintenance crews inspected the plane and found no problems. It was flown back to Portland.
