An Alaska Airlines flight from Oregon to Southern California made an emergency landing Friday following a mid-air incident in which part of a side of the plane appeared to have detached.
Flight 1282 landed safety at Portland International Airport, Port of Portland spokesperson Allison Ferre said in a statement.
No injuries were reported among the 174 passengers and 6 crew members on board, Alaska Airlines said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it returned to the airport after "the crew reported a pressurization issue."
Alaska described what happened as an "incident." A photo from a passenger on board showed an entire panel missing from a side of the fuselage, next to a row of seats.
It’s not clear how the panel became separated from the passenger jet.
