Alaska Airlines was said to have made an emergency landing after one of the crews spotted sparks while flying mid-air. As a result, the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours.
Why Alaska Airlines had to divert a flight
As per the Associated Press, the Alaska Airlines Flight 2256 was on its way to Seattle and was coming from Pasco, Washington. It made an unexpected landing after a flight attendant mentioned seeing sparks in the galley.
Fortunately, there was no reported injury and all passengers have safely deplaned at the airport. Despite the sparks, Alaska Airlines said that there was no smoke seen or fire. It was not mentioned how many passengers were affected by the flight delay.
Alaska Airlines diverted its flight to Yakima, a town that is still within Washington state. The plane model was a turboprop-powered plane model called the De Havilland Canada Dash 8.
The flight took off from Pasco at 9:41 a.m. and made an emergency landing at Yakima at 10:39 a.m. The passengers finally arrived in Seattle at 2:30 p.m. after leaving Yakima at 1:50 p.m. and this means a 2 and a half hour flight delay.
Alaska Airlines stars normal flight operations
Meanwhile, Alaska Airlines is slowly putting its business back on track. It has been working to return to normal operations after temporarily halting and lessening its service at the height of the lockdowns brought about by the global pandemic.
As part of its efforts to normalize everything, Fox News previously reported that the airline also started bringing back some food options including hot entrees for first-class passengers on international flights. It was added that these individuals who secured first-class flight tickets can pre-order any of the two hot entrees, or they may prefer a cheese or fruit platter instead on trips to Hawaii and across the country.
Finally, for premium class and main cabin passengers, they will be able to purchase picnic packs while onboard. Fruit, cheese or ham platters are also available for them. There is also an option for a turkey sandwich or breakfast wrap for flights with more than 1,100 miles distance.
