Overview

• Delta Flight 1893 from Orlando to Austin landed without injuries after passengers saw a section of the left wing’s trailing-edge flap come loose.
• A post-flight FAA inspection found the trailing edge of the left-hand flap bent upward, confirming visible in-flight damage captured on passenger video.
• Delta said the Boeing 737-800 was taken out of service for maintenance and apologized to customers.
• The flight carried 62 passengers and six crew members, and travelers reported the aircraft was shaking before landing.
• This incident follows a July case in which a flap section from a Delta 737 was found near Raleigh-Durham, drawing added scrutiny to recent flap issues.
