Video: Frontier flight lands in Vegas with fire in one engine
A Frontier flight had an emergency landing Saturday afternoon at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Emergency crews extinguished a fire on the plane's right engine after it landed, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
A video circulating on X appears to show flames and heavy smoke coming from the plane as it makes its way across the tarmac. The X user said he recorded the video as the plane was landing, and continued to film as fire trucks were seen arriving and attending to the plane.
A spokesperson for Frontier Airlines told FOX Television Stations in an email that pilots landing that flight, Flight 1326 from San Diego to Las Vegas, detected smoke and declared an emergency.
The plane landed safely around 3:15 p.m. local time, Frontier said, and that everyone aboard evacuated via airstairs.
A total of 190 passengers and seven crew members were onboard, Frontier said.
No one was hurt and everyone made it safely to the terminal.
