An Alaska Airlines flight bound for Orange County from Seattle was diverted back to Sea-Tac Airport after a cabin odor caused symptoms among the flight crew Tuesday morning, officials said.
According to the FlightAware commercial plane-tracking service, Alaska Flight 1506 departed Sea-Tac at 9:06 a.m. and returned at 9:39 a.m. The plane, an Airbus A320, was met at the gate by a Port of Seattle fire truck after its return. Sea-Tac Airport spokesperson Katie Hudson said medics evaluated the pilots and flight crew members. Three members of the flight crew were taken to Highline Hospital to be checked out as a precaution.
