The flight in question was Delta Air Lines Flight 850, a daily nonstop connection between the two airports that is typically operated by an Airbus A320-200 aircraft. The plane had 150 passengers and 6 crew members onboard when the incident occurred, according to The Aviation Herald.

The diversion was called because someone reported an odor in the flight deck, according to a Delta Airlines spokesperson.
