FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A Delta Airlines flight from Miami bound for New York landed in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Monday after experiencing a mechanical problem, airport officials said.
The MD-88 jet with 142 passengers and five crew landed safely and taxied to a gate, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
A Delta spokesman said the jet failed to achieve adequate cabin pressure after taking off from Miami.
"As a cautionary measure, the flight was diverted to Fort Lauderdale,'' spokesman Anthony Black said. UPI
