Cracked windshield forces diversion of Delta flight

Friday, May 3, 2019

SkyWest Airlines operated Delta flight 4003, headed to San Antonio from Minneapolis on Thursday, was diverted to Tulsa, Oklahoma, because of a cracked windshield.

According to a statement from Marissa Snow of SkyWest Airlines, the crack was “in the outermost layer of the windshield”.

“The flight landed safely without incident, and all passengers deplaned normally at the gate. We are working to help passengers resume their travels to San Antonio as quickly as possible on alternate aircraft,” Snow added.

The plane first took off out of Minneapolis at 9:27 a.m. CDT and landed in Tulsa at 11:30 a.m. CDT, according to flight-tracker site FlightAware. Passengers boarded a new plane at 5 p.m. to finish their journey to San Antonio.
