Detroit Flight Diverted After Passengers Were Served Spoiled Food
A red-eye Delta service from Detroit to the Netherlands reportedly had to be diverted after passengers were served spoiled food on the flight! Food poisoning is bad enough when you’re on the ground, let alone stranded in a flying cylinder.
It’s a good thing they seemed to quickly realize that the food was spoiled or that could have been an incredibly long flight for everyone involved. Now, much like a cheesy comedian, we’re all asking, “what’s the deal with airplane food?”
Passengers Were Served Spoiled Food On Delta Flight
It’s bad enough having to eat airplane food, but the last thing you want is to be served spoiled food. According to FOX 2 Detroit, Delta 136 departed out of Detroit around 11pm on Tuesday, July 2nd but had to turn around a few hours into the flight after some of the main cabin in-flight meals were determined to be spoiled. So, instead of making the trip across the pond to the Netherlands, they had to land at JFK in New York City close to 4am.
FOX 2 Detroit reports that Delta released a statement saying, “Delta flight 136 from Detroit to Amsterdam diverted to New York’s JFK early Wednesday morning after reports that a portion of the Main Cabin in-flight meal service were spoiled. Medical crews met the aircraft to treat any affected passengers and crew members. Delta’s Food Safety team has engaged our suppliers to immediately isolate the product and launch a thorough investigation into the incident. This is not the service Delta is known for and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay in their travels.”
Unfortunately, this is not the only issue on a flight between Detroit and Amsterdam recently. Earlier this year, a flight heading to Detroit from Amsterdam had to turn around after a passenger opened the overhead bin and maggots fell out and landed on a woman’s head, per FOX 2 Detroit. I remember when we talked about that story on Dave & Chuck The Freak.
Why Was A Flight From Detroit To Amsterdam Diverted?
Honestly, it seems like we’re hearing a new horror story from the not-so-friendly skies every day now! Whether it’s maggots falling from the overhead bin, spoiled food, doors flying off the plane, or missing parts–there’s always something! As if flying wasn’t already nerve-wracking enough!
FOX 2 Detroit says Delta did not know how many passengers had consumed the food and medical crews were available to treat any affected passengers and crew members. I think it’s going to be a long time until I get on an airplane. All of this makes a 24-hour drive not so bad!
