A Las Vegas Delta flight was canceled after passengers suffered heat-related illness as they waited for hours to take off, a passenger on the flight said.
"We apologize for the experience our customers had on flight 555 from Las Vegas to Atlanta on July 17, which ultimately resulted in a flight cancelation," the airline said in a statement."Delta teams are looking into the circumstances that led to uncomfortable temperatures inside the cabin and we appreciate the efforts of our people and first responders at Harry Reid International.
She claims that passengers had sat waiting with no air conditioning in temperatures over 100 degrees when the pilot announced that the plane would return to the gate due to"multiple emergencies." Delta would not confirm if anyone passed out on the plane and said there was only a record of one customer needing medical attention for"heat-related discomfort" at the gate.
