Allegiant flight from Las Vegas to Missoula makes emergency landing

An Allegiant Airlines flight traveling from Las Vegas to Missoula on Friday was diverted and forced to make an early landing after an indicator warning light came on.

Jessica Wheeler, a spokesperson for Allegiant, said the plane landed safely in Wendover, Nevada, early into the flight and there were no injuries to the passengers or crew.

Wheeler said there were no mechanical failures on the plane before it landed, other than the warning light.

Allegiant took the passengers off the plane and sent a replacement aircraft from Las Vegas that picked them up and brought them to Missoula.

That plane then took passengers waiting in Missoula to their destination in Las Vegas. In all, the delay lasted about seven hours, Wheeler said.
