Southwest Airlines flight forced to make emergency landing after ...
A crew member noticed the crack in the windshield about one hour into the flight.
www.wpxi.comHere’s the latest I can summarize from recent reporting:
- A Southwest Airlines flight on May 11, 2026 diverted to Tulsa after a windshield crack was detected midflight from Albuquerque to Baltimore; passengers were rebooked on another aircraft to Baltimore, and the incident is under FAA investigation.[4][6]
- Earlier, in May 2023, a Southwest flight from Honolulu to San Diego diverted back to Honolulu after a cracked cockpit windshield was observed; the aircraft landed safely and was later repaired. This incident was investigated by the FAA.[5]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current updates and provide a short timeline with flight numbers, aircraft tail numbers, and FAA status as of today. I can also monitor sources for any official statements from Southwest or the FAA and deliver a concise briefing with citations.
