ST. JOHN’S – Delta Air Lines says it diverted a plane to St. John’s, N.L., on Sunday night because of a mechanical issue with one of the aircraft’s engines.
The company says the Airbus 330-300 had taken off from the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and was en route to Rome.
There were 267 passengers and 13 crew on board the plane.
The airline says it gave passengers vouchers for meals and hotels and it is working out how to compensate people for the aborted trip.
A statement says Delta has since flown the passengers back to New York, where employees are rebooking their tickets to their final destinations.
Delta says it followed standard procedures and it apologized to customers for the problem.
