Delta said:
“Customers are on their way to the Dominican Republic after United flight 1470 from Newark, NJ to the Dominican Republic diverted yesterday to Norfolk, VA due to a mechanical issue. We attempted to re-accommodate passengers on a new aircraft, but the flight was unable to depart before the crew exceeded their legally permitted duty hours. We apologize to our customers, and provided them with meals and overnight accommodations. We will also be offering customers a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience.”
