ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines experienced disruptions with two of its flights on Saturday due to mechanical issues, causing diversions.
According to the airline, Delta flight 927, coming from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Atlanta, was diverted to St. Louis (STL) after experiencing a pressurization issue in-flight.
"We are working to get our customers to their final destination as quickly as possible, and we apologize for the delay in their travel. The safety of our customers and people remains Delta’s most important priority," a spokesperson from Delta said in part.
It's reported to be a Boeing 757-200 aircraft carrying 148 passengers and six crew members. The airline said it landed safely and without further incident, adding that first responders met the flight upon arrival.
Airline customer care teams provided on-site support to the passengers. The airline said it had scheduled another aircraft to transport passengers from St. Louis to Atlanta later Saturday.
Delta flight 1950, traveling from Atlanta to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, had to return to Atlanta after the crew received an indication of a potential mechanical issue. Just like the other, it landed with about any other issues. The airline said it has passengers on another flight to St. Thomas that is set to depart later Saturday.
"We apologize to our customers on board for the delay to their travel plans," a Delta spokesperson said in part.
