An Alaska Airlines flight preparing to take off from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for a flight to Sacramento returned to the terminal gate just before 8 p.m. Wednesday after a cockpit warning light indicated an electrical problem in the Boeing 737-400.
The problem was detected as Flight 374 was taxiing to the runway, said airlines spokeswoman Caroline Boren. Back at the gate, maintenance workers noticed smoke in the cockpit, Boren said. But no smoke was detected in the passenger cabin.
A crew of five and 62 passengers were transferred to another plane for a 9:30 p.m. departure, Boren said.
She said the cause was still being investigated.
