The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation after multiple Delta Airlines passengers reported experiencing ear and nose bleeding during a recent flight.
The incident, which occurred on Delta Flight 1476 from Atlanta to Denver, has raised concerns about cabin pressure regulation and airline safety protocols.
According to passenger reports, a sudden drop in cabin pressure led to discomfort and, in some cases, bleeding from the ears and noses of travelers.
“It was terrifying. My ears started hurting, and then I noticed blood,” said one passenger.
Flight attendants immediately provided assistance and oxygen masks were deployed as a precautionary measure.
Delta Airlines has confirmed that the flight encountered an unexpected pressurization issue and that the aircraft has been removed from service for inspection. “The safety of our customers and crew is our top priority, and we are working closely with the FAA to determine the cause of this incident,” the airline stated in an official response.
Aviation experts speculate that the issue may have been caused by a malfunctioning cabin pressure control system. If confirmed, this could prompt further safety checks across Delta’s fleet. Meanwhile, affected passengers have been offered medical assistance and compensation for their distress.
The FAA has assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway and that additional safety measures will be implemented if necessary to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
