A conflict involving cabin crew on a Delta Connection flight required ground intervention in Detroit. The flight, operated by Endeavor Air from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, experienced a dispute among flight attendants during its descent.

The aircraft captain notified air traffic control of “conflict issues” among the crew and indicated that supervisors would likely need to meet the plane at the gate to separate the staff and prevent further escalation. The CRJ-900 landed safely at gate C21, where management and supervisory staff were waiting to manage the situation. The specific cause of the disagreement has not been disclosed.
