Investing.com -- The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) flight that was diverted to Minneapolis on Wednesday after severe turbulence injured 25 people.
Delta Flight 56, an Airbus A330-900 carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew members, departed from Salt Lake City, Utah, bound for Amsterdam when it encountered "significant turbulence" over Wyoming, according to the airline.
The turbulence occurred shortly after the aircraft reached 37,000 feet, causing it to briefly climb to approximately 38,000 feet before descending to just below 35,800 feet. The plane later stabilized at 37,000 feet, data from flight-tracking service FlightRadar24 showed.
After landing safely at Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport, medical personnel evaluated everyone on board. Delta confirmed on Thursday that all seven crew members who were taken to hospitals have been released. Additionally, all passengers who were transported to hospitals for evaluation and were willing to share their status with the airline have also been released.
Delta said it is cooperating with the NTSB investigation and is operating an unscheduled flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam Thursday evening to transport affected customers to their destination.
