ATLANTA — The storms that blew through Kentucky and then North Georgia, also led to a Delta Flight making an emergency landing Saturday.
Delta flight 1617 left Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport early Saturday morning, roughly 3.5 hours late. It was bound for Cincinnati but was diverted to Cleveland due to weather concerns, according to a Delta spokesperson.
"Out of an abundance of caution after weather conditions were encountered at Cincinnati that did not permit a safe approach. The flight landed without incident," the spokesperson said in a statement.
An official with Cleveland Hopkins International Airport told 11Alive that the plane remained parked at a gate.
Officials said there were no injuries and passengers boarded another flight this afternoon to get them to Cincinnati.
"We apologize for the inconvenience and delay in travel plans," a Delta spokesperson said.
