A Delta Air Lines flight that made an emergency landing after losing pressure, Sunday morning, is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration, FAN.
The FAN confirmed that the Delta flight “landed without incident at around 8:30 a.m. local time.”
According to report, the pilots of the five-year-old Boeing 737-900ER had declared an emergency and descended below 10,000 feet
Delta flight 1203 was flying 140 passengers from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Portland, Oregon, when a pressurization issue occurred, prompting the pilots to return to Salt Lake City.
CBS News reported that the airline said oxygen masks did not deploy but the plane was unable to pressurize above 10,000 feet.
In a statement, Delta said paramedics met passengers at the gate and identified 10 individuals in need of medical evaluation or treatment. But the passengers were all treated and released.
The airline told CBS News that it offered to cover transportation costs for customers to go to medical facilities.
The Salt Lake City Fire Department, which deployed the paramedics to the scene, said it could not comment on incidents that occur on airport grounds, but confirmed that its medics did not take anyone to the hospital.
