The Federal Aviation Administration said Frontier Flight 1326
from San Diego with 190 passengers aboard was in the process of
landing Saturday afternoon at Las Vegas' Harry Reid
International Airport when the crew reported smoke in the
cockpit and declared an emergency.
In a statement, the FAA said airport emergency crews
extinguished a fire on the plane’s right engine after it landed.
Witnesses at the airport reported seeing flames and smoke coming
from the underside of the plane.
Frontier officials said there were no reported injuries and all
of the passengers plus seven crew members exited the plane using
the stairs and were transported to the terminal.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced Sunday that
it was launching an investigation into the incident along with
the FAA.
