The Federal Aviation Administration said: “Delta Air Lines Flight 876 returned safely to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 9 am local time on Monday, February 24, after the crew reported possible smoke in the flightdeck.”.
The incident comes days after Delta offered to pay passengers $30,000 (£23,766) as a gesture of goodwill when a plane from Minneapolis crashed and flipped before erupting into flames at Toronto Pearson Airport.
Delta Air Lines Flight 876 landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 9am.
“The flight crew followed procedures to return to Atlanta when a haze inside the aircraft was observed after departure,” a Delta spokesman added.
All 94 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants on board were forced to flee the aircraft using the emergency exit slides.
