The plane, an MD 80 aircraft, was headed to Ft. Lauderdale. There were 94 passengers and five crew members aboard, said RDU spokesman Andrew Sawyer.
He said there was a noxious odor on the flight stemming from an electrical problem that caused the crew to become ill.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the crew reported an emergency on-board and requested multiple medics meet them at the gate.
No one was taken to the hospital.
Delta is making arrangements for passengers, Sawyer said.
No other information was released.
