According to an aviation news report by Simple Flying, a Rome-bound Delta Airbus A330 with 280 people onboard was forced to divert to Canada following a "mechanical emergency." Local emergency response crews met the aircraft upon its unscheduled landing in Newfoundland. To assist the stranded travelers, Delta subsequently dispatched a replacement aircraft to ferry all passengers back to New York.
