In a bizarre incident on Sunday, a passenger on an Alaska Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Seattle opened the emergency exit and climbed onto the wing after arriving at the gate. The incident occurred as Flight 323 completed its taxi to Gate N9 and passengers began to deboard the plane. The passenger, described as anxious, made her own way out by opening the emergency exit.
Port of Seattle fire and a crisis intervention team arrived to evaluate the situation. The Port is not pressing charges against the passenger, but she may have violated FAA rules and authorities have been alerted. Alaska Airlines issued a statement confirming the incident and assuring that it was safely resolved.
The airline is working with their crew and airport officials to gather more details about the incident. The disruptive behavior of the passenger caused inconvenience to other guests on the flight. The story is still developing and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
It is a relief that no one was harmed during this incident, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of following safety protocols on flights. Airline officials and authorities are taking necessary steps to address the situation and ensure the safety of all passengers in the future.
