The incident took place Saturday morning at Los Angeles International Airport. The plane was to fly to Seattle.

When the Boeing 737 was waiting on the runway, the passenger activated one of the emergency exit doors and slid down the emergency slide.

“Customers have been moved to new aircraft and we apologize for the inconvenience and delays to their travel plans,” the FAA said.

An investigation has been opened.
