Delta flight coming into Metro Airport aborts attempt to land at last minute
A Delta Air Lines landing at Wayne County Detroit Metropolitan Airport was more problematic than anticipated after the pilot was forced to abort an attempt to land.
The plane did have a safe landing on the second attempt.
According to a statement from the airline, Delta flight 1648 arrived at Metro Airport Thursday evening from Denver.
A spokeswoman did not include the number of passengers on the flight in the statement.
The statement said the pilot was instructed by air traffic control to execute a “go-around procedure.”
It did not, however, explain what a go-around procedure is and why it was necessary.
A request for a more detailed explanation for the abrupt procedure was made, but one has not yet been provided.
It appears the plane looped around, made another approach and was able to land without interference.
