Southwest Airlines flight makes emergency landing in Honolulu

FILE – In this March 23, 2019, file photo, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max aircraft lands at the Southern California Logistics Airport in the high desert town of Victorville, Calif. A lawsuit filed against Southwest Airlines by a flight attendant alleges pilots on a 2017 flight had an iPad streaming video from a hidden camera in a bathroom in one of the airline’s jets. Court filings by attorneys for Dallas-based Southwest and the two pilots denied the livestreaming allegations, and Southwest issued a brief statement Saturday, Oct. 26, saying it would not comment in detail on the suit but denied placing cameras in the lavatories in aircraft.

The Oakland-bound Southwest Flight 1278 landed without incident in Honolulu at approximately 3:11 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A Southwest official said, there were five crew and 19 customers aboard the holiday flight — no injuries have been reported.

A representative from the Airlines told KHON2 the captain decided to turn the Boeing 737 aircraft around “in an abundance of caution,” to allow mechanics to inspect the multi-layered windshield within the cockpit where the noises were emitting from.

No mechanical issues were detected upon inspection, the representative said.

The flight was allowed to operate on a different airplane and arrived in Oakland approximately three hours behind schedule.
