A Southwest Airlines flight from San Antonio to Orlando, Florida was forced to land after a pressurization issue Monday night, the Dallas-based airline said.
All 133 passengers on board Southwest Flight 3556 exited the aircraft safely at Jacksonville International Airport shortly before midnight.
A passenger told NBC News the plane was flying through a storm near Orlando when the oxygen masks dropped. He said the plane felt warm and he could smell smoke.
In a statement, a Southwest spokesman said the flight was diverted to address a pressurization issue. The plane was taken out of service for an inspection.
Passengers boarded a different plane and continued onto Orlando, arriving at about 1:30 a.m.
