A Delta flight<\/a> bound for Atlanta, Georgia, returned to the Savannah\/Hilton Head International Airport just minutes after takeoff Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that Delta Flight 1067 experienced a failure involving its left engine after departing Savannah\/Hilton Head at around 6:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

The engine issue sparked a grass fire<\/a> near the runway.<\/p>\n

Delta confirmed the incident in a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Delta flight 1067 from Savannah to Atlanta returned to the airport soon after takeoff Sunday evening, following a mechanical issue with the aircraft’s left engine,” the airline said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The aircraft landed safely and was met by airport response teams. Customers deplaned normally at the gate.”<\/p>\n

There were 179 passengers, two pilots and four flight attendants on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No injuries<\/a> were reported.<\/p>\n

Several fire agencies responded to the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Garden City Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post that it was working alongside the Savannah Fire Department, Pooler Fire-Rescue and the 165th Airlift Wing Fire Department to contain the flames.<\/p>\n

Flight tracking data from FlightAware showed the aircraft landed safely back in Savannah at about 7:12 p.m., less than 30 minutes after takeoff.<\/p>\n

In audio captured on Broadcastify<\/a>, the controller asked the pilot about a visible flame during departure.<\/p>\n

“Everything OK? I saw a pretty large flame on takeoff,” an air traffic controller asked the pilot.<\/p>\n

“We lost left engine straight out here for Delta 1067,” the pilot responded.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the controller alerted another aircraft<\/a> on the runway to move, saying emergency crews were being dispatched because a section of grass alongside the taxiway had caught fire.<\/p>\n

The pilot later asked whether the blaze was connected to their aircraft.<\/p>\n

The controller responded that the engine failure had ignited grass on the left side of the airport.<\/p>\n

“The safety of our customers and crew is our highest priority. We apologize to our customers for this delay in their travels<\/a>,” Delta said.<\/p>\n

A replacement aircraft was later used to complete the flight to Atlanta, Delta noted.<\/p>\n

The FAA said it would investigate the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
