ATLANTA — Several Delta flight attendants are recovering after a very bumpy ride to Atlanta.

The flight from Quito, Ecuador ran into some rough air on it’s way to Hartsfield-Jackson international Atlanta Airport on Monday.

The Boeing 767 was carrying 206 passengers when it encountered the turbulence that injured three flight attendants.

A spokesperson for the Atlanta-based airline tells WSB Radio that the flight attendants received only minor injuries and continued to work until the flight landed.

They also say no passengers were hurt.
