ST. LOUIS — Two Delta Air Lines flights were diverted over the weekend due to mechanical problems, the FAA reported Monday.

Delta Flight 927, en route from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Atlanta, was diverted to St. Louis shortly before noon Saturday due to a cabin pressurization issue, the airline said in a statement.

None of the 148 passengers and six crew members were injured. The passengers were re-routed to Atlanta later Saturday.
