That’s when air traffic control contacted the pilots on the plane, according to the Oklahoman. ATC According to the report, said: “Southwest 4069, low altitude warning. Are you okay out there?” The warning clearly worked because the Boeing quickly regained altitude and circled to land safely at another runway.

One of the pilots responded that they were “going around” with the controller telling them to maintain an altitude of 3,000 feet, according to the Everyday monsters. Air traffic officer at the airport confirmed the warning and the lack of access to the newspaper, adding that there were no problems with the plane itself.

This is a statement Southwest Airlines gave Oklahoman about the events that happened earlier this week:

“Southwestern is following its robust Safety Management System and is in contact with the Federal Aviation Administration to understand and resolve any irregularities in the aircraft’s approach to the airport. There is nothing more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees.”
