Delta Air Lines flight DL1203 from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Portland International Airport (PDX) was forced to return and make an emergency landing after a pressurization issue in the cabin caused 10 passengers to need medical attention. Oxygen masks did not deploy but the plane was unable to pressurize above 10,000 feet and was forced to quickly turn around.

The Boeing 737-900ER had 140 passengers on board. Of them, 10 required medical attention. The passengers were all treated by the Salt Lake City Fire Department on the scene, but airport officials shared that some may have taken themselves to the hospital for further treatment after. The aircraft was taken out of service on Sunday after the incident, but was flying again on Monday.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating what caused the issue. Delta said in a statement:
The flight crew followed procedures to return to SLC where our teams on the ground supported our customers with their immediate needs.”
Anthony’s Take: Thankfully, only a handful of passengers needed minor medical attention and everyone landed safely. Passengers were accommodated on other flights out of Delta’s SLC hub.
