A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on July 30 after encountering "significant turbulence" that resulted in 25 people being transported to hospitals, the airline said.
Medical personnel boarded the flight immediately after it landed safely at around 7:45 p.m. to evaluate those aboard, the airline said. The plane was carrying 275 passengers and a crew of 13.
The plane encountered turbulence shortly after reaching 37,000 feet, briefly climbing to about 38,000 feet before descending to just below 35,800 feet. It later stabilized at an altitude of 37,000 feet, according to flight-tracking service Flightradar24.
"We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved," the airline said in a statement. "Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs."
