A Delta jet headed from Atlanta to Lima, Peru, returned to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after the flight crew heard a loud pop.
The crew heard the noise early Sunday morning as the plane was over Florida. The pilot turned the plane around and safely returned to the airport in Atlanta.
Delta officials said a defective seal on an exit door caused the pop. The plane was repaired and is back in service.
The 178 passengers on the plane were switched to other flights.
