With 76 passengers onboard, the aircraft landed safely on the second approach, and no injuries were reported. The pilot and air traffic controller managed the incident effectively, and an FAA investigation is ongoing. Delta Airlines apologized for the experience, affirming that operations were not affected by the occurrence.
