Delta plane mistakenly lands at Ellsworth Air Force Base

Flight 2845 had 130 passengers aboard, Delta said.

“Delta has contacted the customers of this flight and offered a gesture of apology for the inconvenience,” said a written statement issued Friday by Delta.

The flight’s crew has been taken off duty, the statement said, while an investigation commences by the National Transportation Safety Board and Delta begins its own internal review.

A spokeswoman at Rapid City Regional declined an interview request and referred all questions to Delta.

An Ellsworth spokeswoman, 1st Lt. Rachel Allison, issued a written statement.

 “Base officials followed the proper procedures to address the situation and ensure the safety of our Airman, their families and the passengers,” the statement said, in part. “The aircraft departed for Rapid City Regional Airport later that night.”
