Delta served only pasta on some international flights after reports of "spoiled" meals forced an Amsterdam-bound flight to divert to New York3. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution, and the airline is investigating the issue to prevent future occurrences.
Yes, the spoiled food incident affected Delta's flight schedule. Delta Flight 136, traveling from Detroit to Amsterdam, had to make an emergency landing at JFK Airport due to reports of spoiled food. As a result, passengers were provided with hotel rooms and transportation, and were rebooked to continue to their destination. Additionally, Delta went pasta-only for about 75 international flights as a precautionary measure.
