-

ALBUQUERQU­E — A Dallasboun­d flight made an emergency landing at Albuquerqu­e Internatio­nal Sunport, sending panicked passengers leaping from a wing onto the tarmac after crew members screamed at them to get away from the aircraft, passengers and officials said.

Southwest Flight 3562 took off from Phoenix on Sunday night. About an hour later, the crew noticed an unusual smell in the cabin, the airline said in a statement.

Southwest said it worked to get passengers onboard another flight to Dallas, and aircraft will remain in Albuquerqu­e where mechanics will inspect it.
