According to the airline officials, the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft, having 159 passengers on board, was diverted for emergency landing after it began to “experienced a cabin pressurization issue approximately two hours after take off.”

The aircraft landed safely, although the passengers had to wear oxygen masks deployed overhead in the cabin.

The airline provided hotel accommodation, refund for that leg of the trip, and a $200 voucher to all the passengers.

The flight was rescheduled to depart from Greenville next morning.
