A Boeing 767 airliner belonging to the Delta Airlines company, which took off from New York to Los Angeles, had to turn back from the road after takeoff, due to an emergency slide, the American press writes.
A black streak affecting the American aircraft manufacturer continues – after an open cargo hold, a ripped door, a burning reactor – with an emergency chute.
The airliner turned back after takeoff on Friday after pilots felt an unusual vibration shake the Boeing 767, registered as manufactured in 1990.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the company’s version, which states that the pilots received an alert about the emergency chute on the right side of the plane.
On board the aircraft were 176 passengers, two pilots and five crew members.
Delta Airlines assures that it has found another flight to California for all passengers.
The plane was taken out of service during checks.
The slide was still nowhere to be found.
“As nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and our staff, Delta crews implemented their extensive training and followed procedures to return to JFK Airport in New York,” the airline said in a statement.
Unlike other models, the Boeing 767 was spared from the series of incidents.
In January, only the Boeing 737 Max medium courier plane was targeted by an investigation by the FAA and the Federal Police (FBI).
Currently, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner long-haul aircraft are also targeted.
A whistleblower inside the American aircraft manufacturer expressed doubt about the viability of the assembly process of these two types of aircraft.
