Delta Air Lines apologized to passengers after a Boeing 767 flying from Los Angeles to New York was forced to make an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[^2]

The incident occurred on a recent Wednesday when passengers reported that cabin pressure was lost, causing oxygen masks to deploy automatically and the aircraft to suddenly lose altitude.[^5] The flight was diverted to Albuquerque instead of its intended destination at New York's JFK airport.[^2]

Delta said it would get everyone to their final destinations as quickly as possible following the event.[^1] The airline did not provide further details on the cause of the pressure loss or the specific time of the diversion.
