<p>A Delta jet experienced engine problems on what was supposed to be a trans-Atlantic flight and landed on an island in the middle of the ocean, where the nearly 300 travelers and crew had to spend the night, officials said Thursday.</p>
<p>Flight 127 left Madrid on Sunday, bound for New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, when it had "to divert to Lajes, Azores (TER) after indication of a mechanical issue with an engine," according to an airline statement.</p>

<p>The Airbus A330 had 282 customers and 13 crew members on board, Delta said.</p>
<p>The passengers and crew "deplaned via stairs at TER" and "were accommodated overnight in area hotels and provided meals," the airline added.</p>
<p>They were taken off the island in Portugal's Azores archipelago on a new aircraft on Monday.</p>
<p>"The flight landed safely, and we sincerely apologize to our customers for their experience and delay in their travels," Delta said.</p>
