In a statement to Channel 13, a Southwest spokesperson did not elaborate on the source of the odor or any safety issues with the aircraft.
"The pilots followed procedure and landed the aircraft uneventfully," Southwest's spokesperson stated.
The company did note that customers were being transferred to another aircraft to take them to Lihue Airport.
"We appreciate the professionalism of our pilots and flight crew in responding to the event," the spokesperson wrote. "Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of its customers and employees."
