A Delta flight arriving at Chicago’s Midway International Airport on the Fourth of July reportedly made contact with a firework, the airline said. Delta Air Lines Flight 1076 departed Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta at 7:36 p.m. ET and landed at Midway Airport at 8:38 p.m. CT.
Radio communication between the cabin crew and air traffic control captured the moments after the incident. The aircraft landed safely, and the incident didn’t result in an emergency landing, airline officials said. Delta said Sunday a post-flight inspection showed no damage to the aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
