A flight that was heading from Tampa, Florida to Boston, Massachusetts was diverted to Bradley International Airport after a mechanical issue and landed safely early Thursday morning.
Officials from Delta said flight 1439 from Tampa to Boston diverted and landed safely in Connecticut after the crew received an indication of a mechanical issue.
The flight landed safely at 12:06 a.m. Thursday, according to the Connecticut Airport Authority.
The plane, a Boeing 737-800, had 109 customers and six crew members onboard, Delta said. On approach into Boston, the captain chose to divert to Bradley out of an abundance of caution because of a mechanical issue and low-visibility conditions in Boston.
