Flight 188 flew past their intended destination while the flight was NORDO (no radio communications) but landed without further incident once radio communication was reestablished.

There the aircraft had 2 pilots, 3 flight attendants and 144 passengers onboard.


The flight was from San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Diego, California, to Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (MSP), Minneapolis, Minnesota.
