A Delta flight from Milwaukee was diverted to Chattanooga on Tuesday afternoon after reportedly being struck by lightning.
Flight 2050 landed at Chattanooga Airport just before 4 p.m. ET.
Airport spokesman Albert Waterhouse told ABC station WTVC-TV that none of the 164 people on board the MD-90 aircraft were injured.
"The aircraft will be closely inspected to determine the next steps in getting the passengers to their final destination," said Waterhouse in a statement.
Video provided by WTVC showed the plane on the tarmac flanked by emergency vehicles.
The flight, with 164 passengers, was bound for Atlanta. Delta is working to get them there via bus.
