Delta flight 160 landed without incident around 5:20 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The landing came after pilots of the Airbus A330 — a wide-bodied aircraft — reported a mechanical issue with the aircraft’s flaps, and there were no reported injuries, according to Delta.

Minneapolis, MN — No one is hurt after a Delta Air Lines flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The incident happened yesterday afternoon. Airline officials say pilots reported a mechanical failure of the plane’s flaps shortly after takeoff.

The aircraft had 272 passengers on board and the airline said it would swap out the aircraft and recrew if deemed necessary.

DL160, which was scheduled to take off at 3:37 p.m., experienced a mechanical issue with its flaps that required an emergency landing. After circling the Twin Cities to use up fuel, the Airbnb A330-900 – which was carrying 272 passengers – landed safely about an hour after taking off.
