More development about the recent Delta Air Lines flight that developed a cabin pressure issue has emerged. There are now reports of some passengers needing medical assistance upon landing due to bleeding noses and ears, even though the pilots managed to quickly turn around and successfully land the plane.

Passenger Symptoms

A Delta Air Lines flight which left from Salt Lake City on September 15 to Portland had to turn around not too long after take-off when pilots discovered a pressurisation issue. After landing safely, another plane was arranged for the passengers to fly to their destination.

However, it has now emerged that due to the pressurisation problem, many passengers suffered from headaches along with bleeding ears and noses. According to reports, one of the passengers felt like somebody was stabbing her in the ear. After grabbing her ear, she pulled her hand back, and discovered blood on it. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has now launched an investigation into this incident.

Paramedics were already waiting for any injured passengers, when the plane arrived at the airport. About 10 people were found needing medical assistance. The passengers who suffered from bleeding were also advised to visit the hospital for further evaluation.

A Delta spokesperson commenting on the incident said.

We sincerely apologise to our customers for their experience on flight 1203 on Sept. 15. The flight crew followed procedures to return to SLC where our teams on the ground supported our customers with their immediate needs.

Information on the Delta Air Lines Aircraft

The Delta aircraft involved in the incident is said to be a 5-6 year old Boeing 737-900ER registered N916DU, delivered to Delta in January 2019. As of this year, the aircraft has garnered more than 17,000 flight hours across 6,705 flight cycles.

Delta Air Lines operates a wide range of both Boeing and Airbus widebodies and narrow bodies. The Boeing 737 fleet makes a large portion of its narrow body fleet, of which more than 160 are B737-900ERs.
