Out of an abundance of caution, one crew member was taken to the hospital for evaluation but has since been discharged, the airline stated. The spokesman said there were 168 passengers on board the B767-300 plane at the time of the incident. All customers were re-accommodated on a secondary aircraft. It landed at Los Angeles International Airport Saturday evening without further incident
"We apologize for the delay to their travel plans. Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people," the spokesman said.
