All the passengers are reported to be protected. The flight left from Atlanta.

The airline said that pilots acquired a “nose gear unsafe” indication. As per Delta, the plane flew by the Charlotte airport’s air site visitors management tower. It allowed air site visitors management to “visually inspect the plane”, reported the media home.

After the indication, the pilots declared an emergency onboard and the passengers have been briefed by the crew.

“While this is a rare occurrence, Delta flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries. Our next focus is to take care of our customers on this flight, including retrieving their bags and seeing them to their final destinations safely. We apologize to our customers for what they experienced,” the airline mentioned in an announcement as reported by the media home.

An investigation has been launched into the matter.
