A flight bound for El Paso, Texas, made an emergency return to Houston after its windshield shattered, the airline said.

The aircraft turned back to Houston during the flight, according to the airline. Further details on the aircraft type and the number of people on board were not immediately specified in initial reports.

Windshield failures are rare in commercial aviation but are treated seriously, with crews trained to divert and land promptly when they occur.
