Delta Air Lines emergency landing in Minneapolis

Overview

On August 31, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-300 was forced to make an emergency return to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The incident occurred approximately four minutes after takeoff due to a ‘potential pilot incapacity.’

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the emergency was attributed to a ‘pilot medical emergency.’ All 178 passengers and seven crew members were unharmed, and a replacement crew allowed passengers to complete their journey to Orlando later that evening. Delta Air Lines stated that the crew followed established procedures and noted the company is focused on supporting the pilot. The FAA has confirmed it will investigate the incident.
