Delta Air Lines has apologised to customers after making an unscheduled landing as a result of two flight attendants reportedly having a fist fight at 36,000 ft.
The two female flight attendants had a disagreement over “work issues” on flight DL2598 from Los Angeles to Minneapolis on 22nd January. A third woman attempted to break up the fight to no avail. The captain then decided to divert the plane to Salt Lake City and make an unscheduled landing there.
According to the Aviation Herald, the captain decided to land the plane because he “wanted to hear from his flight attendants.” The plane remained on the tarmac for 80 minutes before taking off again and arriving at Minneapolis more than an hour late.
Delta Air Lines sent out letters to the passengers on the flight to apologise for the inconvenience caused. As a gesture of goodwill, SkyMiles members received bonus miles, while non-member passengers received travel vouchers.
