A Delta Air Lines flight landed safely after part of its wing flap fell off and landed on the driveway of a North Carolina home.
The incident happened early Wednesday morning, the airline confirmed to Fox News Digital. The Boeing 737-900ER was traveling from Atlanta to Raleigh-Durham with six crew members and 109 passengers on board.
“After the aircraft landed safely, it was observed that a portion of the left wing’s trailing edge flap was not in place. Delta is fully supporting retrieval efforts and will cooperate with investigations as nothing is more important than safety,” a Delta spokesperson said.
The flight had both departure and en-route delays due to thunderstorm activity, Delta said. It left Atlanta 10 minutes late, at 11:06 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to Fox News Digital that it is investigating what happened.
