Delta Air Lines flight DL2090 from New York to Orlando was diverted to Raleigh-Durham International Airport due to an odor detected in the cabin. The Airbus A321-200, registration N368DN, departed John F. Kennedy International on January 1, 2025, and was forced to land around halfway through its journey.

The airline issued a statement apologizing for the delay: "Flight 2090 on February 1 from New York – John F. Kennedy (JFK) to Orlando (MCO) diverted to Raleigh (RDU) and landed safely after an odor was detected in the cabin. We apologize to our customers for their delay in travel."

Passengers were transferred onto another aircraft, also an Airbus A321-200 with registration N396DN, which completed the journey from Raleigh-Durham to Orlando later that evening.

Following the incident, the original aircraft flew from Raleigh-Durham to Atlanta as DL9962 before resuming normal operations with a return international flight between Atlanta and Santo Domingo Las Americas International Airport.

In November 2024, Delta experienced a similar issue when flight DL850 had to divert due to a foul odor on the flight deck. The Airbus A320-200 involved in that incident was carrying 150 passengers and six crew members. Delta reiterated their commitment to safety by stating: "Safety is always our top priority, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels."

No injuries were reported in either incident, though investigations into these occurrences are ongoing.
