SEATTLE, March 20 (Reuters) - Alaska Airlines said on Wednesday a jetliner
with 125 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport after it lost cabin pressure en route from Spokane,
Washington.

The carrier, a unit of Alaska Air Group Inc. (ALK), said some passengers
reported minor discomfort as the cabin pressure declined inside the MD-80
jet.

The plane arrived on schedule after receiving priority status to land, amid
snow flurries, after the pilots reported the problem, Seattle-based Alaska
said.
