A Southwest Airlines flight from Sacramento to Denver was diverted to Oakland Sunday evening after the aircraft ran into pressurization issues, airport officials said.
Flight 1655 landed at Oakland International Airport sometime between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. as a result of the glitch, said Keonnis Taylor, an airport spokeswoman.
The plane landed safely, and its 133 passengers boarded another aircraft while the original was taken out of service for a maintenance check.
The flight should reach Denver about three hours behind schedule, Taylor said.
Wednesday, a Chicago-bound Southwest Airlines flight departing from Oakland International Airport circled for four hours in the sky before safely landing back at the airport after a possible landing gear problem.
