Southwest diverts plane due to broken window

Published



A Southwest Airlines flight from Chicago to Newark, N.J., was diverted to Cleveland on Wednesday because of a broken window.

“The aircraft has been taken out of service for maintenance review, and our local Cleveland employees are working diligently to accommodate the 76 customers on a new aircraft to Newark,” a spokeswoman confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The aircraft never lost cabin pressure, she noted, “as there are multiple layers of panes in each window. No emergency landing was requested and the flight landed uneventfully with no reported injuries.”
