SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle-Tacoma International Airport spokesman says a Hawaiian Airlines flight diverted to Sea-Tac Tuesday morning and landed without incident.

Spokesman Perry Cooper says the Boeing 767 was on a flight from Maui to Portland, Oregon, when the flight crew received a warning of a possible aircraft trim problem. He says procedures call for the plane to divert to the nearest airport, which was Sea-Tac.

Cooper says the plane landed at about 11:10 a.m. and went to an airport gate. He says workers are checking the plane out and will determine whether it can fly on to Portland.
