A Delta Air Lines flight traveling from South Korea to Atlanta was diverted to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday morning after the crew reported a suspicious package on board, prompting a security sweep of the aircraft and additional screening of passengers.
Delta Flight 188, a regularly scheduled service between Seoul’s Incheon International Airport and Atlanta, diverted to Sea-Tac at approximately 10:30 a.m., well ahead of its originally scheduled 5 p.m. arrival in Georgia. The flight crew made the decision to divert out of an abundance of caution following the report of the suspicious package.
