A Delta Air Lines flight departing from Atlanta to South Carolina was forced to return to the airport shortly after takeoff due to a report of possible smoke in the aircraft. The flight crew noticed a haze inside the plane and followed procedures to return to Atlanta, landing back at the airport in just 35 minutes. Despite the inconvenience, Delta Air Lines prioritized the safety of the 94 passengers onboard and apologized for the experience. Emergency protocols were followed to ensure the safe return of the aircraft, and slides were deployed for the passengers to deplane with the assistance of Atlanta Fire Rescue. The incident had a moderate impact on airport operations, but the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the cause of the smoke reported on the flight. NBC News producer Jay Blackman and breaking news reporter Mirna Alsharif covered the story, with contribution from Nicole Duarte. The safety and well-being of passengers and crew members remain a top priority for Delta Air Lines, and they will continue to work with authorities to ensure the incident is thoroughly reviewed and understood.
