A Delta Airlines Boeing 767 aircraft bound for New York made an emergency stop due to a technical incident at the Blaise Diagne International Airport in Senegal on Saturday, the West African nation's transport ministry said.
The pilot was able to bring the plane, which carried 216 passengers, to a safe stop and no injuries were recorded, the ministry said in a statement.
"The plane, during takeoff, performed an acceleration maneuver followed by an emergency stop due to a technical incident," it said.
The incident occurred a day after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it would open a new safety review into Boeing following an in-flight emergency in January.
