Delta Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Smoke Detected Midair
A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to Sydney had to make an emergency landing on Saturday night after smoke was detected onboard. Imagine this—you’re on a long-haul flight, expecting a smooth journey across the Pacific, when suddenly, something goes wrong. That’s exactly what happened on Delta Flight DL43, which had just taken off from LAX when the crew noticed smoke in the galley.
The Airbus A350-900, carrying 162 passengers, had only been in the air for about 30 minutes before the decision was made to turn back. The pilots followed emergency procedures, ensuring a safe return to Los Angeles International Airport. According to Delta, safety is their number one priority, and in a statement, they reassured passengers that the crew acted swiftly to handle the situation. Fortunately, the plane landed without further incident, and passengers were rebooked on another flight.

Now, here’s where things get even more interesting—this was just one of two Delta flights that faced a similar issue on the same day. Another Delta flight, traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit, also had to divert after a strange odor in the cabin made several crew members feel unwell. That plane ended up landing in Dublin, Ireland, as a precaution.
These incidents come at a time when aviation safety is under intense scrutiny. Recent flight disruptions, emergency landings, and even tragic crashes have made travelers more anxious than ever. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is already looking into this latest Delta flight issue to determine what caused the smoke.
While it’s always unsettling to hear about in-flight emergencies, it’s also a reminder of how prepared pilots and crews are to handle unexpected situations. Thanks to their quick actions, everyone on board was safe. But it does leave passengers wondering—what’s really going on with these back-to-back incidents?
