Delta Boeing 737 Makes Emergency Landing at Minneapolis Airport
April 1, 2024
A Delta Boeing 737 was forced to make an emergency landing at a Minneapolis Airport. The reason appeared to be a crack in the plane’s outer windshield.
As reported by FOX 9, the airplane descended to a lower altitude “out of an abundance of caution.” It then landed to check on what could have been a possible maintenance issue.
The flight landed safely at the Minneapolis airport. Ironically, the plane ended up being 13 minutes ahead of schedule, per the website Flight Aware, and no injuries were reported to any of the passengers or crew members.
This latest incident came days before Delta was named a top pick by Morgan Stanley. The airline was cited for its overall customer satisfaction rating and target price of $85, according to Yahoo.
Yahoo Finance anchor Brad Smith said of the airline. “Delta already being known as a premium brand and really how it’s able to, in the wake of so many of the aircraft manufacturing woes that are taking place and impacting the entire industry capacity, the routes, the ability to take on aircraft that have already been ordered as well that’s going to impact for years to come some of the flight routes and schedules here, Delta perhaps best insulated from some of the Boeing issues as they don’t operate the Max currently.”
Just a few days prior to this latest incident, two Delta flights clipped wings, according to CBS News. And, on March 17, a Delta passenger boarded a flight without a proper ticket. They were found on a flight that departed from Salt Lake City, Utah, en route to Austin, Texas.
People Magazine shared a copy of the complaint against Wicliff Yves Fleurizard, which said, “After boarding was complete and just before the aircraft doors were secured, Fleurizard exited the front lavatory and made his way to the back of the aircraft and entered the aft lavatory.”
Prior to boarding, Fleurizard was seen in the Delta boarding area taking snapshots of passengers’ phones. There he was able to copy their boarding passes.
