A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Colorado Springs after flight attendants detected smoke in the cabin during a flight from Denver to Tampa, Florida. The incident occurred on May 27, prompting swift action from the crew.

The emergency landing took place just over an hour into the journey, at 8:22 p.m. on Monday. Southwest Flight 1070 made the diversion to Colorado Springs following reports of a possible smell of smoke in the cabin. The airline confirmed that the aircraft’s flight crew executed established procedures, ensuring the safe exit of all passengers.

According to FlightAware data, the plane had departed from Denver International Airport at 7:13 p.m. and landed at Colorado Springs Airport due to the detected smoke. Despite the unsettling situation, none of the passengers sustained injuries. They were efficiently escorted off the aircraft and accommodated on another flight bound for Tampa later that evening.

FlightAware records show a subsequent flight departing from Colorado Springs at 10:58 p.m. and arriving in Tampa at 3:43 a.m. the following day, indicating that this was the alternate arrangement for the affected passengers.

Southwest Airlines expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and assured that maintenance personnel were assessing the original aircraft to address the issue. The cause of the smoke in the cabin remains undetermined at this time.
