Regional jet with 84 onboard safely makes emergency Kan. landing

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A regional airliner with 84 passengers on board safely made an emergency landing in Wichita after the plane had cabin pressurization problems.

No one was injured during Wednesday afternoon’s landing by the Bombardier CRJ100 at Wichita’s Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.

Airport spokeswoman Valerie Wise says the Mesa Airlines flight had taken off from Wichita and was headed to Dallas. She says the plane wasn’t in the air for very long before the pilot declared an emergency around 2:20 p.m. and returned to the airport.

She had no further details.
