Ten Delta passengers receive medical attention following emergency landing of a Boeing 737-900 in Salt Lake City.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a Delta Air Lines flight made an emergency landing Sunday morning due to a pressurization problem, resulting in at least 10 people requiring medical attention.
The Boeing 737-900ER (registration N916DU) performing flight #DL1203 from Salt Lake City to Portland climbed to 10,000 ft when the crew detected a pressurization issue with the aircraft.
The pilots of the five-year-old Boeing 737-900ER declared an emergency and descended below 10,000 feet and returned to SLC Airport only 23 minutes after departure.
Oxygen masks did not deploy but the plane was unable to pressurize above 10,000 feet, according to the airline.
The airline said the plane was taken out of service on the morning of Sept. 15 and went back into service on Sept. 16 after technicians resolved the pressurization issue.
