Delta Air Lines pulled some meal options from dozens of international flights on Wednesday hours after the carrier said reports of "spoiled" food on an Amsterdam-bound flight forced the plane to divert to New York.
Delta was only serving pasta in the main cabin on about 75 international flights on Wednesday.
Delta apologized to customers over the report of spoiled food in the main cabin on the Detroit-to-Amsterdam flight.
"This is not the service Delta is known for and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay in their travels," Delta said.
The incident occurred in the midst of the peak summer travel season, when Delta and its rivals are fighting over travelers.
