SEATAC, Wash. (AP) - An American Airlines flight from Dallas to Korea made an unscheduled stop in Seattle Friday because a passenger was having pregnancy complications.
Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says there was an alert as a precaution when the plane landed about 12:15 p.m. because the Boeing 777 was heavily loaded with fuel. There is nothing wrong with the plane.
Cooper says he would not be able to release any information on the woman's medical condition.
Flight 281 was headed from Dallas/Fort Worth to Inchon.
Cooper says medical diversions to Sea-Tac are not unusual for planes on overseas flights before they get too far from land.
