A Delta flight to Frankfurt had to return to Atlanta after the crew reported they lost one of the engines.
Delta flight DL14 departed Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport Friday, February 28 2025 for a 9-hour flight to Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
The flight was operated by a 19-year-old Airbus A330-300 with registration N811NW.
The aircraft took off from runway 27R and climbed to 16,000ft when the crew contacted ATC about an issue on the right hand engine.
