Over 250 passengers were deplaned Friday night in Hilo after their Hawaiian Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing.
Flight 64 departed from Lihue just after 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon; it was scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles about 5 hours later.
About two and half hours into the flight, the plane was turned around when a mechanical issue within the cockpit was reported.
The plane arrived at Hilo International Airport just after 8:30 p.m., the same time the plane was supposed to touch down at LAX.
A Hawaiian Airlines spokesperson says the airline is working to get a new aircraft and crew in position to accommodate passengers and finish their trip to Los Angeles.
