A Southwest Airlines flight bound for Los Cabos, Mexico, Thursday morning returned to a Texas airport after a reported engine issue.

Flight 3006, carrying 134 passengers, landed safely at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, according to a statement from Southwest Airlines.

After the incident, the crew followed procedures and helped passengers evacuate the aircraft onto the tarmac, according to Southwest.

Flight investigator Luis Irizarry told Puerto Rico’s WAPA-TV it appeared a young co-pilot was flying the plane during the incident and a captain took over to land safely.

No injuries were immediately reported, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Frontier Airlines told Fox News Digital the flight from Orlando to San Juan “experienced a hard landing upon arrival.”

“The aircraft landed safely, and there were no injuries to the passengers or crew,” Frontier said. “The incident is under investigation.”

Fox News Digital’s Stephen Sorace contributed to this report.
