An airline spokeswoman said there were no injuries Tuesday. The aircraft, an Embraer RJ 145, carried three crew members and 42 passengers, who were bused to Albuquerque.
Flight 2025 from Houston's intercontinental airport was scheduled to arrive in Albuquerque at 3:42 p.m. Because of violent thunderstorms, the aircraft initially was diverted to Santa Fe but couldn't land there because of high winds.
After arriving in Los Alamos, firefighters raised a ladder to the plane's door to help passengers off. The small airport has no equipment to serve commercial flights.
