MADISON, Wis.(AP) - A Northwest Airlines jetliner made a safe emergency landing in Madison on Monday after the pilot reported a pressurization problem, an airline spokesman said.
Flight 126 with 115 passengers and a crew of six was flying from Minneapolis to O'Hare Airport in Chicago when the incident took place about 10:30 a.m., Northwest spokesman Vin Parker said.
"There was no danger to the passengers," he said. "It was a computer alerting the pilots that there may be an issue."
The plane was flying at 29,000 feet when the automatic pressurization system gave a reading for about 10,000 feet, he said.
"If the pressure is below 14,000 feet, the (oxygen) masks won't drop because it is not critical," Parker said. "There was no breach in the aircraft. The system showed a loss of pressure. Whether that actually happened or not remains to be seen."
The flight was diverted to Dane County Regional Airport as a precaution, and no one was hurt, Parker said. The passengers were taken off the DC-9 to be bused to Chicago.
