ASHWAUBENON - A Delta jet made an emergency landing at Austin Straubel airport in Ashwaubenon Sunday evening.

Airport Director Tom Miller said the airplane took off from Austin Straubel around 4:45 p.m.

While en route to Detroit, Michigan, smoke filled the cabin.

The plane returned to the airport and made an emergency landing around 5:10 p.m.

Sixty-five passengers and a crew of four evacuated the aircraft on the taxiway using a set of stairs.

They were transported to the airport building and checked out by medical crews. Everyone was released.

Delta is now in the process of re-booking flights for the passengers.

Officials are investigating on what caused the cabin to fill with smoke.
