The redeye flight from Detroit to Amsterdam was diverted to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, taking off around 11 p.m. Tuesday and landing in New York at 4 a.m.

“This is not the service Delta is known for and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay in their travels,” the spokesperson said.
It’s not known how many of the 277 total passengers ate the food.
The spokesperson said customers have been booked on alternate Wednesday flights out of JFK and were offered hotel rooms.
