Uh Oh: Delta Flight Forced to Return to Atlanta Airport Monday Morning Because of ‘Haze’
On the latest episode of Keeping Up with These Damn Planes, a Delta flight was forced to turn back to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday morning after something alarming was spotted inside the cabin.
According to a Delta spokesperson, Flight 876 was en route from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, when “haze inside the aircraft was observed.” The FAA confirmed that “the crew reported possible smoke in the flight deck.”
The Boeing 717 aircraft—carrying 94 passengers, two pilots, and three flight attendants—had no choice but to return to Atlanta. The plane landed safely, but in a dramatic turn, passengers had to evacuate via emergency slides upon arrival.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, and we apologize to our customers for the experience,” a Delta spokesperson said.
