On July 7, 2025, Delta Air Lines Flight 1334, a Boeing 757 carrying 191 passengers from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale, was forced to make an emergency landing at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers after a passenger's lithium-ion battery caught fire mid-flight. The battery fire caused smoke to fill the cabin, prompting the crew to extinguish the flames while still airborne before diverting the flight. There were no reported injuries among those on board. The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation into the incident. Separately, on a different occasion, a Delta Air Lines flight from Madrid to New York experienced engine problems over the Atlantic Ocean, leading to an emergency landing on Terceira Island in the Azores. Nearly 300 passengers and crew were stranded on the remote volcanic island for over 29 hours due to the unexpected diversion and subsequent delay.
