Boston-Bound Delta Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Smoke Reported in Cabin
Four passengers were hospitalized and 14 people received medical attention after smoke filled the cabin, officials said.
- On Sunday, a Delta Air Lines flight carrying 296 passengers diverted to Porto, Portugal, after cabin smoke forced an emergency landing en route from Barcelona to Boston.
- A mechanical issue reported two and a half hours into the flight prompted the diversion to Carneiro Airport, though officials stated the cause remains under investigation.
- Emergency responders at Porto treated 14 passengers for smoke inhalation, with eight receiving care on the tarmac and three taken to a hospital; a spokesperson described those hospitalized as only "lightly" affected.
- Delta recently experienced four emergency landings in one week, including two involving cabin fumes, while Flightradar24 data shows Monday's scheduled flights for the aircraft were canceled.
- Data from 2025 shows lithium-ion batteries triggered an average of 2.36 incidents weekly, with 12% leading to diversions, as the International Air Transport Association previously launched campaigns to improve onboard awareness.
