 [February 11, 2017]
(Reuters) - Pilots flew a GoJet
plane bound for North Carolina back to Boston after they smelled smoke
in the cockpit, an ABC-affiliated TV channel in Boston reported on
Saturday.
The Delta Airlines 6266 connection flight bound for Raleigh-Durham
International Airport with 76 passengers and 4 crew members aboard
landed safely in Boston, WCVB.com reported.
The news channel reported that the pilot had said over the radio, "We
actually have smoke in the cabin. Declaring an emergency and coming back
to the airport."

A Delta spokesperson told the station that the pilot asked that the
passengers get out of the plane on the tarmac and that they were
then taken by bus to the terminal, rather than taxiing to an airport
gate in the plane.
