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.

According to The Aviation Herald, the engine was shut down. Pilots reported they have lost the engine number 2.

The plane returned to Atlanta for a safe landing on the same runway after 27 minutes of flight.

A replacement aircraft (registration N859NW) was assigned to resume the flight few hours later.

The A330-300 involved in the incident was taken out of service. It is scheduled to perform flight DL72 to Amsterdam on Match, 4th.

A chaotic fight broke out last week at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, video shows. People were seen kicking and punching each other at the Spirit Airlines boarding gate.

The fight — which broke out on Feb. 19 at the Spirit Airlines gate at Georgia’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — involved what appeared to be two groups of men and women punching and kicking each other.

One woman climbed over a row of airport chairs to launch kicks into the crowd, as others rained blows down on each other as some fell to the floor and tried to shield themselves.

Atlanta police say they responded to reports of a large disturbance at the airport, but by the time they got to the gate, the crowd had dispersed.

On February 24, 2025, a Delta Airlines Boeing 717, which departed Atlanta for Columbia, South Carolina, at around 8:30 a.m., returned back after smoke filled the cabin mid-flight.

The plane safely made an emergency landing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and all 94 passengers, two pilots, and three flight attendants were swiftly evacuated using emergency slides.

The Boeing 717 twin-engine airliner produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes was developed for the 100-seat market and originally marketed by McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s as the MD-95 until the company merged with Boeing in August 1997.

Two Delta Airlines aircraft were involved in a collision on the taxiway at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

An Airbus A350-900 registration (N503DN) operating flight DL295 to Tokyo, clipped the tail of a regional jet Bombardier CRJ-900LR (registration (N302PQ)) operating flight DL5526 to Louisiana, causing damage to both planes.

It appears the vertical stabilizer of the CRJ aircraft fell off after the right hand wing tip of the A350 clipped the regional aircraft.

At 10:07AM, two aircraft made contact at the intersection of taxiways E and H on the north airfield. No injuries are reported. Passengers from one aircraft are being bussed to concourse B; the other aircraft taxied on its own power to its gate. There is minimal impact to ops.”

Atlanta Airport statement

Both aircraft were taxiing for departure with the CRJ-900 holding short of runway 08R at taxiway H. At that time the A350 taxied along taxiway E.
