Delta A330 Diverts to Porto After Cabin Smoke Forces Emergency Landing
Delta Flight 251, an Airbus A330 traveling from Barcelona to Boston, made an emergency landing in Porto, Portugal, on September 27 after smoke was detected in the cabin. The aircraft, carrying 283 passengers and 13 crew members, diverted approximately four hours into the flight. While Delta confirmed a mechanical issue, Portuguese authorities cited smoke as the cause. Four passengers were hospitalized for smoke inhalation, though all were reported to be in stable condition. The airline is working to rebook affected travelers to their final destinations.
