U.S.-bound flight makes emergency landing due to smoke
The jet was on a flight from Barcelona to Boston with 296 passengers when it was diverted, media reports said.
A Delta Air Lines aircraft experienced an emergency landing at Porto's airport in Portugal on Sunday due to smoke detected in the cabin, according to civil protection officials. The incident occurred while the plane, which was en route from Barcelona to Boston with 296 passengers, was in flight. Upon landing, 14 passengers required assistance as they exited the aircraft.
Eight of the affected passengers were treated on the tarmac, while four were transported to a hospital with minor smoke inhalation injuries. The cause of the smoke in the cabin remains unknown at this time. This incident marks Delta's fourth emergency landing in a week, with the previous cases attributed to cabin fumes and pressurization issues.
