Delta Air Lines Flight Diverted Due To Odor In Cabin
« on: August 23, 2017, 06:29:54 AM »
Joining a host of similar reports in recent weeks, a Delta Air Lines flight was diverted Tuesday after an odor was detected in the plane’s cabin. Delta Air Lines Flight 981 from Boston to Atlanta was reportedly diverted to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York “out of an abundance of caution.”

“The aircraft turned around and was descending through about FL150 when the crew declared emergency,” the Herald reported. “The aircraft continued for a safe landing on JFK's runway 22R, vacated onto runway 31L, advised that no further assistance was needed and taxied to the apron.”

Safety First !!!  Still curious as to "what" the odor was.
