A Delta Air Lines flight from Georgia to Washington, D.C., was diverted to North Carolina on Wednesday due to a reported odor in the flight deck, according to the airline.
Delta Flight DL850, which departed from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with 150 passengers and six crew members, landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport instead of its intended destination in Washington. A Delta spokesperson confirmed that no passengers or crew were injured.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident and released a statement confirming the safe landing.
“Delta Air Lines Flight 850 landed safely at Raleigh-Durham International Airport around 5 p.m. local time on Wednesday,” the FAA said.
Passengers were able to get on another plane after flight diversion
Once the plane landed in North Carolina, passengers could get on a new flight to Washington, the spokesperson said. The plane landed safely in Washington at 10:04 p.m.
