A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Washington made an emergency landing in Denver on Thursday after the plane’s windshield shattered midair. After the crew of Delta Flight 760 “declared an emergency due to a cracked windshield,” the flight landed safely at Denver International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. Long, a Delta spokesperson, confirmed that the plane, a Boeing 757, had a “maintenance issue mid-flight,” but did not offer information about when the windshield started to crack or why. “Out of an abundance of caution, the flight crew diverted into Denver and the plane landed routinely,” Ms. Long said in a statement on Saturday. “Our team worked quickly to accommodate customers on a new plane, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans.”
