Plane makes emergency landing after pilots lose contact with flight attendants and hear knocking on cockpit door | Latest Travel News
An American Airlines flight, operated by SkyWest Airlines, made an emergency landing in Nebraska Monday evening after the pilots couldn’t attain the flight attendants and they heard somebody outdoors the cockpit door, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Flight 6469 took off from Omaha’s Eppley Airfield at 6:41 p.m. local time headed to Los Angeles, but virtually immediately turned around, landing just 18 minutes later, according to the monitoring web site FlightConscious.
“After landing, it was determined there was a problem with the inter-phone system and the flight crew was knocking on the cockpit door,” the FAA said in a assertion.
A photograph of the airplane after it landed confirmed the Embraer ERJ 175 regional jet parked away from the terminal with two firetrucks surrounding it.
Omaha’s airport authority would only say there was no security incident at the airport, and directed all questions to American Airlines.
