An Alaska Airlines flight en route to Orange County’s John Wayne Airport (CA) (SNA) this morning diverted to Portland International (PDX) when there was a problem with the fuel.

Alaska spokesman Paul McElroy said flight 504 landed in Portland at 9:49 AM PDT and passengers were to get on a replacement aircraft at around 1:00 PM.

The pilots were concerned because the fuel wasn’t flowing properly.
