Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300 heavily damaged from Hailstorm
On July 24, 2023, a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to New York was diverted to Rome due to hailstorms.
A Boeing 767 was used to fly Delta flight DL185. It also made a safe landing in Rome and is getting ready to continue on to New York JFK. However, Delta canceled the flight. The plane’s nose and the area of the fuselage next to the wings were damaged.
The 767-300 (tail number 189DN) changed course and headed southeast for almost an hour, to Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Int’l-Fiumicino Int’l (FCO). Three pilots, eight flight attendants, and 215 passengers were on board, according to a spokesperson.
The Delta spokesperson stated that “Delta flight 185 from Milan to New York-JFK diverted to Rome after experiencing an apparent weather-related maintenance issue shortly after takeoff.” “The flight landed safely in Rome, where passengers disembarked without incident and where maintenance staff is carefully inspecting the aircraft.
