The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has confirmed that Delta Air Lines flight DL055, en route from Lagos, Nigeria, to Atlanta, United States, was forced to make an emergency diversion to Accra, Ghana, following a fire incident in the aircraft’s oven on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, disclosed on X that the flight crew had exceeded their rest time limits by the time the issue was resolved, making it impossible to continue the journey.
“Some passengers were rebooked on the airline’s Accra-New York flight the same evening, and this effort was repeated on Wednesday night for additional passengers,” Achimugu said. “Flight DL055 from Lagos to Atlanta finally departed from Accra today, September 25, 2025, at approximately 1200hrs.”
Regarding another disruption, Achimugu noted that a Delta flight from Atlanta to Lagos scheduled for September 25 was cancelled. “Although passengers were duly informed, the airline accommodated those who arrived at the airport by providing transportation to hotels. Twenty-three passengers were rebooked on Air France, while others will be airlifted on British Airways, KLM, and Lufthansa Airlines,” he said.
He added that the remaining passengers are scheduled to depart on Delta’s next flight on September 26, 2025, at 1140hrs. Contrary to speculation, the Air France flight has not been cancelled and will operate at 0130hrs.
