A Delta Air Lines flight made an emergency landing at O’Hare Airport on Wednesday after a “smoky odor” was detected in the cockpit midflight.
The flight from Detroit to Kansas City diverted to O’Hare and landed safely about 4:15 p.m., according to a Delta spokesperson and the flight tracking site FlightAware.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people. That’s why the flight crew followed established procedures to divert to Chicago O’Hare,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement. “We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels and Delta teams are working to get them to their final destinations this evening.”
The Boeing 717 was carrying 73 passengers and five crew members. No injuries were reported.
