Mechanical problems force two Delta flights from Atlanta to divert – WABE

Two Delta Air Lines flights were diverted over the weekend due to mechanical problems, the FAA said Monday.

Delta Flight 927, en route from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Atlanta, was diverted to St. Louis shortly before noon Saturday due to a cabin pressure issue, the airline said in a statement.

None of the 148 passengers and six crew members were injured and the passengers were placed on another flight to Atlanta later Saturday.

Also Saturday, Delta Flight 1950, bound for St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, from Atlanta, returned to Atlanta around 12:30 p.m. after the crew reported a potential mechanical problem, the airline said. The passengers were then placed on another flight to St. Thomas. No one was injured.

Both planes were Boeing 757-200s, Delta said.
