A Delta Airlines flight aborted its takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport due to an engine issue, leading to an emergency evacuation involving about 200 passengers.
Four individuals sustained injuries during the evacuation process, with one requiring hospitalisation and others treated for minor injuries.
The incident coincided with a snowstorm that led to widespread flight cancellations and raised questions about the impact of weather on operations.
Delta Airlines is cooperating with the FAA’s investigation while offering customers the option to rebook flights without additional charges amidst ongoing disruptions.
The airport saw 900 flights cancelled during a winter storm.
