Passengers on board a Delta Air Lines flight from New York City to Orlando were diverted to Raleigh due to an “odor in the cabin,” airline officials confirmed.

A Delta Air Lines spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Delta Flight 2090 was traveling from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Orlando, Florida, on Saturday afternoon when it was diverted to Raleigh, North Carolina, for an issue. 

“Flight 2090 on February 1 from New York – John F. Kennedy (JFK) to Orlando (MCO) diverted to Raleigh (RDU) and landed safely after an odor was detected in the cabin,” the statement from the airline read.

“We apologize to our customers for their delay in travel.”

Passengers and crew on United Airlines Flight 1382 were evacuated off the plane at George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport due to a “reported engine issue,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday.

The FAA said they are conducting an investigation into the incident. 

The airline said passengers were deplaned on the runway via a combination of slides and stairs and were bused to the terminal. 

Officials said there were no injuries and all passengers were moved to another plane to continue to their destination.

The FAA said they will investigate the incident.
