A Delta Air Lines Inc. wide-body jet bound for Detroit landed safely at the Amsterdam airport after being diverted there because its wing flaps wouldn’t retract following its departure from Paris.
Flight 99, a twin-engine Airbus SAS A330 jet carrying 309 passengers and crew, touched down about 4:15 p.m. local time at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, Anthony Black, a spokesman for Atlanta-based Delta, said today by e-mail. Video by Amsterdam television station AT5 showed the jet landed without incident.
