491 Blue Sky Ln, Hollister, MO, 65672, United States 4000 Branson Airport Blvd, Hollister, MO, 65672, United States 5900 S Cicero Ave, Chicago, IL, 60638, United States
A Southwest Airlines flight to Dallas with a scheduled stop in Missouri landed at the wrong airport, according to a company spokesman.
Flight 4013, carrying 124 customers and a crew of five, landed at M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport instead of Branson Airport, about 9 miles away.
The two towns are in the south west part of the state, near Arkansas.
'Our ground crew from the Branson airport took care of our customers and their baggage,' according to a statement from the company. 'The landing was uneventful, and all the customers and crew are safe.'
It's not clear why the crew landed the plane at the wrong airport.
Passengers were put on a different plane at the correct airport and continued their flight to Dallas, according to the company.
