A Delta Air Lines flight departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport was forced to return to the gate after a passenger was drenched by leaking deicing fluid during pre-departure preparations. The incident occurred on Delta flight 1307, an Airbus A220-100 scheduled to fly to Jacksonville, Florida. The aircraft had just completed its routine deicing process when fluid began leaking into the cabin.
According to air traffic control recordings, the flight crew quickly alerted controllers and requested permission to return to the terminal. “We had a bunch of deicing fluid leak inside the aircraft and soak a passenger,” People quotes the pilot.
