ATLANTA — The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate the aborted takeoff of a Delta Air Lines flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport this morning.
Delta Air Lines Flight 2668, bound for Minneapolis-St. Paul, aborted its takeoff around 9:05 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 10, due to a reported engine issue. Passengers used emergency slides to exit the plane on the runway.
Delta said it is “managing worse-than-expected winter weather across the Southeast this weekend, including at our Atlanta hub.”
All runways were closed by 9:20 a.m. Delta said it has canceled approximately 500 Delta and Delta Connection flights for Jan. 10.
What do you do when your flight out of Atlanta has its engine catch fire on take off?
