A packed Delta Air Lines plane has burst into flames on the runway at Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The flight was evacuated just before takeoff on Monday after flames began shooting out of one of the plane’s engines.
The passengers managed to escape onto the runway as the plane was evacuated.
Delta Flight 1213 from Orlando to Atlanta was on the tarmac at the time.
People inside the airport captured video of passengers on the flight using the emergency slides to evacuate the aircraft.
Moments later, flames were seen shooting out from part of the plane.
The Airbus A330 was carrying 200 passengers, 10 flight attendants, and two pilots when the incident happened, a Delta spokesperson revealed.
Flames were spotted in the tailpipe of one of the plane’s two engines.
The fire prompted the flight crew to follow procedures to evacuate the passenger cabin, the spokesperson said.
There were no initial reports of injuries.
Passengers returned to the terminal.
Delta said the passengers were given food and beverages.
Passengers were expected to board a different aircraft that would take them to their destinations.
“We appreciate our customers’ cooperation and apologize for the experience,” a Delta spokesperson said.
