A Delta Airlines flight from New York to Ghana was forced to turn around over the Atlantic Ocean because of a fuel imbalance in the plane’s wings.
On Monday, Delta Airlines flight DL9923 left New York just before 5 p.m. The flight had been delayed a day due to a pilot’s illness, and then delayed the day of the flight because of weather.
At two hours and 17 minutes into the flight, the plane turned around at an elevation of 31,000 feet, according to a tracker from FlightAware.
