Delta Flights Abort Takeoff at MSP and Newark Due to Engine Failures

Two major incidents involving Delta Airlines flights occurred recently due to mechanical failures. A Delta flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport bound for Portland, Oregon, aborted takeoff after flames erupted from the right engine, leading passengers to be transferred to another plane that arrived two hours late. The plane returned safely to the gate with no injuries reported, and Delta issued apologies for the delay. Separately, a Delta Boeing 737-900 flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Salt Lake City experienced a left engine failure shortly after departure, forcing an emergency landing back at Newark. The crew handled the situation professionally, maintaining clear communication with air traffic control and ensuring all passengers and crew onboard remained safe. Both incidents highlight Delta's prompt response protocols and coordination with emergency services to manage in-flight mechanical emergencies safely.
