Several hundred Delta Air Lines passengers were left stranded in a remote Canadian town for nearly 24 hours after their plane was diverted due to a mechanical issue.
On Sunday 10 December, Delta flight 135 was carrying 270 passengers from Amsterdam to Detroit when it made an emergency landing at Goose Bay Airport in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The airport is located in the remote town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, with a population of around 8,000 people. Goose Bay Airport is operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
