ATLANTA — Passengers heading to Mexico City on Thursday had their plans delayed with a stop at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
A spokesperson with Delta Air Lines said that Flight 625 left John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on Friday morning with 199 customers on board.

While flying, the plane detected a possible issue with its anti-skid indicator, so the flight crew diverted the plane to Atlanta.
The crew declared an emergency to get priority handling from Air Traffic Control, but landed safely, Delta said.
