A representative for Delta confirmed that all individuals on board were unharmed.

The Federal Aviation Administration is currently looking into the situation and issued a statement verifying the flight landed safely.

“Delta Air Lines Flight 850 arrived safely at Raleigh-Durham International Airport around 5 p.m. local time on Wednesday,” the FAA reported.

After landing in North Carolina, passengers were able to board a different flight to Washington, according to the spokesperson. The second plane reached Washington at 10:04 p.m.

“Ensuring safety is our utmost priority, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers,” Delta expressed in a statement early Thursday.
