MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — An AirTran Airways flight carrying 65 people from New Orleans to Milwaukee had to make an emergency landing in Tennessee when smoke and an odor was reported onboard.
The Boeing 717 landed safely in Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday night. No one was injured.
The airline says in a statement that flight 619 was diverted to Memphis out of an abundance of caution. AirTran said passengers were being reaccommodated and would continue on to Milwaukee on Saturday night.
The airline says it's looking into what happened.
A telephone message and e-mail were not immediately returned Sunday.
