The DL90 flight from Orlando was heading towards Amsterdam when it made an unscheduled diversion to Dublin airport
A Delta Airlines flight was forced to land at Dublin airport after a passenger medical emergency. Flight DL90, heading for Amsterdam, was departing from Orlando International Airport on Friday (February 13) at 7:36pm EST.
However after about 7 hours and 28 minutes of flying across the Atlantic, the crew made the decision to divert to the Irish capital. As reported by Air Live, the aircraft touched down at Dublin Airport following a standard descent.
A medical emergency required immediate passenger care on the ground. It was also reported that because the plane’s journey was ending but it still carried significant fuel, pilots likely performed a standard arrival procedure into Dublin Airport.
After a temporary stop the Airbus A330-900 departed Dublin at 9.34am. The flight resumed its journey to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport where it landed at 12.08pm
