ATLANTA (AP) — A federal official says a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Oregon turned around and made an emergency landing in Atlanta after blowing a tire on takeoff.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the Boeing 737 left Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Thursday afternoon headed to Portland but turned around once pilots realized a tire had blown.
She said the flight landed safely at 3 p.m. with no reports of injuries.
Delta did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
