RALEIGH, N.C. — Officials say a Frontier Airlines flight from Norfolk, Virginia, to Orlando made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport due to fumes or an odor in the cabin.

News outlets in North Carolina report that all 102 passengers and crew were evacuated safely on Saturday, but one passenger was taken to WakeMed, an area hospital. 

The passenger’s condition was not reported. The airport says Frontier Flight 1159 contacted RDU and requested the emergency landing about 5:45 p.m. 

When the plane landed, RDU Fire Rescue responded along with units from Wake EMS, Raleigh Fire, Wake County Fire Service, and Wake County HazMat.
