Minneapolis-bound flight diverts to KCI

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Delta Airlines Embraer E170 heading from San Antonio, Texas to Minneapolis was diverted to Kansas City International Airport just before 8:00 p.m. Monday.

Delta flight 5789, which landed without incident, suffered a cabin depressurization during the flight, prompting the diverted landing at KCI, according to an airport spokesman.

The plane landed without incident and was able to taxi to the gate under its own power.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the plane, which is capable of flying up to 80 passengers, to lose cabin pressure.
