ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – An Allegiant Air flight heading to Pittsburgh was forced to return to St. Petersburg for an emergency landing.

The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/1d44rnJ) reports the plane made an emergency landing Wednesday at the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport due to pressurization problems. It was the second emergency landing at the airport this month.

The airline cancelled six flights at the airport Thursday, citing “operational needs.” But not all of its flights were canceled.

Officials from the Nevada-based airline apologized for the disruption and said they’ll offer affected passengers a $200 voucher for a future flight. Officials say they’re also waiving change fees and fare differences for passengers who have to reschedule.
