Passengers on board a Delta flight on Monday were forced to evacuate via emergency slides after smoke or haze consumed the plane's inside, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and airline officials.

This marks the second smoke-related issue to impact a Delta flight within a week, just two days after an Australia-bound flight returned to Los Angeles due to smoke on the plane.

ATLANTA (AP) — A Delta Air Lines flight returned to the Atlanta airport soon after taking off Monday when crew members reported a smoky haze inside the cockpit, according to federal officials.
