Hollywood stars makes unscheduled stop in Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An American Airlines flight from Nashville to Los Angeles with two Hollywood stars on board made an emergency landing in Little Rock after a suspicious odour was reported in the cabin.

The aircraft landed Saturday at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. American Airlines spokeswoman Alexis Aran Coello told Little Rock television station KTHV (http://bit.ly/2eKmZwc ) that the flight landed safely and no injuries were reported.

Actors Kate Mara and Jamie Bell said on Twitter that they were on the flight. Bell tweeted a photo of the pair at the airport and Mara tweeted that the flight was “a disgraceful, pathetic way to treat the families travelling with infants and elderly.”

The airline apologized, also via Twitter, for the disruption.
