SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Airport officials say a Southwest Airlines flight from Denver has landed safely in Salt Lake City after a pilot reported the smell of smoke in the cockpit 20 minutes before landing.
Salt Lake City International Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann says there are no indications of any fire on Southwest Flight 1291 on Tuesday morning and the smell of smoke dissipated by the time the plane landed.

She says crews are checking the aircraft as a precaution.
No delays have been reported at the airport.
