A Hawaiian Airlines flight heading from Honolulu to Tokyo declared an emergency on Monday as a precautionary measure after a mobile device became lodged in a seat, creating an "electrical smell" on the plane.
The carrier said in a statement to FOX Business that Hawaiian Airlines Flight 457’s emergency declaration was issued "out of an abundance of caution" so the aircraft could receive "priority handling" when it arrived at Haneda Airport, which is located in the greater Tokyo area.
