A Delta Air Lines flight traveling from Orlando to Amsterdam was forced to make an unscheduled landing at Dublin Airport early Saturday morning.
DUBLIN – Flight DL90, operated by an Airbus A330-900 (registration N412DX), departed Orlando International Airport (MCO) on Friday, February 13, at 19:36 EST. After approximately 7 hours and 28 minutes of flight time across the Atlantic, the crew made the decision to divert to the Irish capital.
Diversion Details
The aircraft touched down at Dublin Airport (DUB) following a standard descent. A medical emergency required an immediate passenger care on the ground.
Because the aircraft was nearing the end of its transatlantic crossing but still carried significant fuel, pilots likely performed a standard arrival procedure into Dublin’s busy morning hub.
Resume of Service
After spending a brief period on the ground—likely for refueling or addressing the cause of the diversion—the Airbus A330-900 departed Dublin at 09:34 GMT.
The flight is currently resuming its journey to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), where passengers are expected to arrive with a delay of several hours.
