Frontier flight makes emergency landing in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Frontier Airlines flight from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to San Diego was forced to make an emergency landing in New Mexico after flight attendants smelled an unknown odor.

KJRH-TV in Tulsa, Oklahoma, reports Frontier Airlines Flight 1839 made an emergency landing at the Albuquerque International Sunport late Sunday due to the unknown smell in the cabin.

In a statement, Frontier Airlines says the flight landed safely and no injuries were reported among the 129 passengers and six crew members.

The cause of the odor is under investigation.

Frontier reportedly gave passengers a $200 flight voucher, put them in hotels overnight, and rescheduled them on a flight Monday morning.

The flight is part of a new route from Tulsa International Airport to San Diego.
