A Delta Air Lines Boeing 757-200, operating Flight DL1329 from Jacksonville to Atlanta, was forced to return to Jacksonville on April 30 following a reported flap issue. The aircraft, carrying 176 passengers, took off from Jacksonville International Airport at 16:19 but returned around 17:00 after a brief holding pattern.
Delta stated that the aircraft's diversion was due to "the indication of a flaps issue." Upon returning, the plane landed safely and was examined by technicians. The passengers were later accommodated on a replacement flight that continued to Atlanta that evening.
A Delta Air Lines spokesperson emphasized their dedication to safety, saying, "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people — that's why the flight crew followed their training and procedures to return to Jacksonville when a potential mechanical issue was observed. We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels."
