Firefighters met the aircraft upon arrival and had the 150 passengers and six crew deplane as normal. The source of the odor could not be confirmed and passengers were moved onto another plane for their journey to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Delta released the following statement around the incident:
The flight landed safely at RDU and customers are being accommodated on a new aircraft tonight. Safety is always our top priority, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels.”
This is not the only recent incident where a strange odor has been detected onboard a Delta flight. Last week, a flight from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) made an emergency landing over fumes and bad smells. In August, another flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) found pilots and flight attendants sickened from another strange odor.
Anthony’s Take: I wonder what these odors are and how the scent is getting into the cockpit or cabin. It’s also unknown if they’re the same odor.
