Emergency Stop In La For American Airlines Flight

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) ― An American Airlines flight bound for Dallas-Fort Worth made an emergency landing in Lafayette, Louisiana on Monday

American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner said the decision to land was made after a smoky odor was detected in the cabin shortly before noon Monday.

Wagner said the plane, which left Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was carrying about 145 people, including passengers, pilots and flight attendants. He said a plane from Dallas-Fort Worth was expected to arrive in Lafayette around 3:30 p.m. CDT to pick up the passengers.
