Delta flight with roughly 300 passengers diverted to island in Atlantic Ocean

New York-bound flight took off from Madrid on Sunday, but landed on island in Azores group after engine issue

A Delta flight was diverted to an island in the Atlantic this week after the plane experienced a mechanical issue, leaving the nearly 300 passengers on the island for a day.

The New York-bound flight took off from Madrid on Sunday, but as the flight made its way over the ocean, the flight crew had to divert it to an island in the Azores island group.
