Flight DL56, headed from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, Delta said in a statement.

"Medical personnel met the flight upon arrival to evaluate customers and crew. Twenty-five of those on board were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and care," the airline said. "We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved."

The Minneapolis airport said the flight landed safely around 7:45 p.m. The airport's fire department and EMS responded to the gate to help those on board, it said.
