A Houston-bound Southwest Airlines was forced to make an emergency landing after receiving a cockpit indication that there was a pressurisation issue, the second such incident in a row.
Southwest Airlines officials say Flight No 43 was travelling from Dallas to Houston.
The flight returned to Dallas after receiving a cockpit indication that there was a pressurisation issue. There were 143 passengers and five crew members on the flight.
Officials say the pilot completed a safe landing, and the aircraft is being taken out of service for inspection. They are currently working with customers to get them to Houston on a different aircraft.
The incident was second day in a row, a Houston-bound Southwest Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing.
On Tuesday evening, a Southwest Airlines flight heading to Houston made an unscheduled landing in Jackson, Mississippi, after another "pressurisation issue," which caused oxygen masks to deploy.
Yesterday, Southwest said in a statement that Flight 214 had left Atlanta on Tuesday evening when the problem occurred.
The plane was carrying 118 passengers and five crew members; it landed safely in Jackson and was taken out of service.
The passengers were later transferred to another plane that flew them into Houston yesterday.
Southwest says the loss in pressure led a flight attendant to be taken to a hospital to be evaluated, but no other details were available.
