An Endeavor Canadair CRJ-900 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N295PQ performing flight
DL-5145 from New York La Guardia,NY to Savannah,GA (USA), was climbing out of La Guardia's runway 13 when the crew did not respond to two calls by ATC repeating the same instruction, on the next repeated call the crew read back to climb to 12,000 feet and turn onto heading 320 degrees, the controller added he needed them to turn right away, at this time the crew requested for a block clearance, the controller queried what altitude they needed, then the crew explained there had an issue with the heading but were fine with the altitude. The controller instructed the crew to initiate a turn and would tell the crew when to roll out of the turn. The crew requested to stop climb at 10,000 feet and subsequently on ATC instruction descended to 9,000 feet while still rolling in and rolling out of turning on ATC instructions. The crew advised they were reading checklists and talking to maintenance but needed to divert to New York JFK,NY (USA). The aircraft landed safely on JFK's runway 22R about 68 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground of JFK Airport for about 4:20 hours, then departed again and reached Savannah with a delay of about 5.5 hours.
