A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was forced to divert to Minneapolis on Wednesday after running into turbulence that injured over two dozen people on board.
According to a statement from the airline, passengers and crew members were evaluated by medical personnel at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, and 25 were ultimately hospitalized.
“We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved,” Delta said.
The aircraft involved was an Airbus A330-900. It was carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members.
The flight, identified by Delta as DL56, departed Salt Lake City around 5:30 p.m. local time and landed about two hours into its journey. The airline did not provide further details about the nature of the turbulence, other than calling it “significant.”
