A Delta aircraft encountered engine difficulties during its planned trans-Atlantic journey, resulting in an unexpected landing on a remote island, where nearly 300 passengers and crew were required to stay overnight, officials announced on Thursday.

Flight 127 departed Madrid for New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport but had to “divert to Lajes, Azores (TER) due to a mechanical issue with an engine,” as stated by the airline.

The Airbus A330 was carrying 282 passengers and 13 crew members, according to Delta.

The passengers and crew “deplaned via stairs at TER” and “were accommodated overnight in area hotels and provided meals,” the airline added.

They were taken off the island in Portugal’s Azores archipelago on a new aircraft on Monday.

“The flight landed safely, and we sincerely apologize to our customers for their experience and delay in their travels,” Delta said.
