Delta apologizes for flight attendants’ ‘altercation’
ASSOCIATED PRESS / JULY 2014
A Delta Air Lines jet took off from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Va. in July 2014. Two of the airline’s flight attendants reportedly got into a fist fight on a Los Angeles-to-Minneapolis flight on Jan. 22.
ATLANTA » Delta Air Lines is apologizing to passengers after a confrontation between two flight attendants last month led pilots to make an unscheduled landing halfway through the trip.
The airline says the actions of the crew members didn’t reflect the professionalism expected of employees.
The Aviation Herald, a website that tracks accidents and other incidents involving planes, said Delta flight 2598 was headed from Los Angeles to Minneapolis on Jan. 22 when two flight attendants got into a fist fight and the captain decided to land in Salt Lake City.
The Herald said the plane stayed on the ground for more than an hour before resuming the flight to Minneapolis.
In a statement, Delta confirmed basics of the account. It said it sent a letter of apology to the plane’s passengers.

Now if we could have a live boxing match between Manny and…, on the flight.
Reminds me of when I was in the tenth grade. The cafe had a food fight where I saw a taco flying right over me.
Well the airline are going back to offering perks, so get ready for a bag of pretzels flying by your ear.
Apologies with money. Talk is cheap.
YIKES Delta! how embarassing …
need to review your HR tactics of hiring… the whole process is arduous at best.
Snapping in the air. Sooner or later they get on each others nerve.
