( CNN ) A SkyWest Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Buffalo , New York , on Wednesday after a passenger lost consciousness , officials said . The passenger received medical attention before being released , according to Marissa Snow , spokeswoman for SkyWest . She said the airliner expects to accommodate the 75 passengers on another aircraft to their original destination -- Hartford , Connecticut -- later Wednesday afternoon . The Federal Aviation Administration initially reported a pressurization problem and said it would investigate . Snow said there was no indication of any pressurization issues , and the FAA later issued a statement that did not reference a pressurization problem . SkyWest also said there was no problem with the plane 's door , which some media initially reported . Flight 5622 was originally scheduled to fly from Chicago to Hartford . The plane descended 28,000 feet in three minutes . `` It would feel like a roller coaster -- when you 're coming over the top and you 're going down , '' CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said , describing how such a descent would feel . `` You know that these pilots knew they were in a very grave and very serious situation . ''
FAA backtracks on saying crew reported a pressurization problem . One passenger lost consciousness . The plane descended 28,000 feet in three minutes .
