‘Safety First’: New York-Bound Delta Flight Lands in Remote Island, stranded for 29 hours

A delta flight was to make an emergency landing on a remote volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, carrying 282 passengers and 13 crew members, a middle-hire engine problem developed. The aircraft was flying from Madrid to New York on Sunday and was to make an emergency landing after a four -hour flight. Business Insider reported that the flight landed at Lajes Airport in Portuguese Island in Terresira, which is part of a remote archipelago, Azorce, 1000 miles from the mainland. “As the security delta comes before all others, the flight crew followed the procedures to divert Lazes, Azorce,” said an airline spokesman. But the examination was not the end of the exam for emergency landing passengers, it was just the beginning because they had to stay on the distant island for 29 hours before Delta could send another aircraft from New York. Flight-tracking data showed that five hours after the emergency landing by delta aircraft, another delta aircraft began from JFK Airport. Finally, the passengers could reach New York, expecting to land 31 hours later. Delta arranged for passengers’ accommodation and food in nearby hotels. The airline has not yet specified the engine problem and the aircraft in the aircraft was still parked at island airport on Wednesday. Delta said it would contact passengers and compensate them. In 2023, a delta aircraft of Ghana landed at Lajes Airport due to a mechanical issue with a backup oxygen system. The major row erupted at that time because a passenger claimed that the crew member told him that when he was trapped that he should be thankful that the plane was not crashed into the sea.
