Multiple city and state agencies, including Honolulu EMS and American Medical Response, responded and evaluated the flight attendants on scene; all declined transport to a hospital. No passengers required medical attention. The cause of the odor has not been identified. Alaska Airlines said the aircraft was inspected before its next flight and thanked responders in a statement.
