A Delta flight from Atlanta to South Carolina was forced to turn around Monday morning due to “haze” inside the plane. According to Delta, the flight crew followed procedures, declared an emergency for priority handling from air traffic control, and returned to Atlanta after the haze was observed. Upon landing on Runway 27, emergency slides were deployed for egress. The Boeing 717, which departed Atlanta for Columbia, South Carolina, at approximately 8:30 a.m., was carrying 94 customers, two pilots, and three flight attendants. Two of those passengers were treated by EMTs and released. Delta teams arranged ground transportation and rebooking for passengers. A continuation flight to Columbia was carried out on another aircraft.
