Delta Air Lines Flight Forced to Turn Back Over Cabin Odor

A Delta Air Lines flight has been forced to turn around due to a strange cabin smell. Flight 1334 had been due to head to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on a morning flight on Thursday, but turned back to Atlanta after someone onboard feared they may have smelled smoke. Flight tracking software FlightRadar24 indicates that the Airbus A321 was airborne for only about 1.5 minutes. “The flight crew followed established procedures, and the aircraft landed normally without incident,” a spokesperson for the carrier told CBS News. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and crew, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels.” No further information about the potential cause of the smell has been given at the time of writing. According to flight tracking software FlightAware, the eight-year-old A321 took off again around three hours after its original departure time, bound for Florida.
