NYC-bound Boeing 767 makes emergency stop during take-off in Senegal

DAKAR (Reuters) – A Delta Airlines Boeing 767 aircraft bound for New York made an emergency stop due to a technical incident at the Blaise Diagne International Airport in Senegal on Saturday, the West ******** nation’s transport ministry said.

The pilot was able to bring the plane, which carried 216 passengers, to a safe stop and no injuries were recorded, the ministry said in a statement.

“The plane, during takeoff, performed an acceleration maneuver followed by an emergency stop due to a technical incident,” it said.

The incident occurred a day after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it would open a new safety review into Boeing following an in-flight emergency in January.

Senegal’s national civil aviation agency and its Bureau of Investigations and Analysis will investigate the incident, it said.
