Multiple Delta Flights Diverted to Remote Canadian Town Due to Mechanical Issues
A Delta flight carrying 270 people from Amsterdam to Detroit was diverted to Goose Bay Airport in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Canada, for nearly 24 hours due to a problem with the plane's de-icing equipment. The diversion was caused by weather and runway conditions, which led to crew duty time limitations. Delta sent a rescue aircraft, but the crew timed out, and another flight was scheduled to pick up the passengers the following day. Delta provided food and accommodations for the passengers, who stayed in military barracks overnight.
