ATLANTA — Hundreds of passengers bound for Nigeria spent nearly eight hours in the air on Saturday night only to land right back where they started at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Delta Air Lines flight DL54, operated by an Airbus A330-200 (registration N854NW), departed ATL at approximately 5:42 p.m. EDT on May 9 for Lagos (LOS). The aircraft climbed to cruising altitude and tracked eastbound across the Atlantic for roughly three-and-a-half hours before the crew initiated a U-turn.
