After a Delta flight made an emergency landing in Atlanta in February, a maintenance crew found there was barely any or possibly "no oil visible" in the aircraft's right engine, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report released Wednesday. Delta Air Lines Flight 876 was bound for South Carolina after it took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Feb. 24.
Main Idea: Delta Air Lines is under investigation after a smoke-filled flight made an emergency landing in Atlanta, and maintenance later found little or no oil in the right engine.
Key Points:
Delta Air Lines’ engine issue and smoke scare may shake traveler trust and raise fears about flight safety.
The NTSB report can push stronger maintenance checks and faster fixes, which may lower risk for passengers and workers.
