Delta Air Lines aborts takeoff, evacuates passengers in Atlanta  A Delta Air Lines aircraft aborted its takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 9:10 a.m. local time (14:10 GMT) on Friday (January 10), leading to an emergency evacuation of passengers. This incident occurred on the same day the company predicted 2025 to be the most profitable year in its 100-year history, attributing this to robust demand for premium travel and improved pricing power in the industry.  In the incident, four passengers reported minor injuries, with one requiring further medical attention, according to a statement from the airport. The runway and the aircraft were cleared shortly afterwards, despite operational delays and severe weather conditions.
