Twelve passengers treated for minor injuries following airplane engine fire at landing.

Over 170 passengers and six crew members were evacuated after the engine of an American Airlines flight from Colorado Springs caught fire upon landing in Denver.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft, en route to Dallas, diverted and landed in Denver at approximately 5:15pm local time (23:15 GMT) after the crew reported engine vibrations.

“After a safe landing and taxying to the gate at Denver International Airport (DEN), American Airlines Flight 1006 experienced an engine-related issue,” stated the airline.

All 172 passengers and six crew members safely evacuated the aircraft and were taken to the terminal. Twelve passengers with minor injuries were treated at a local hospital.

Photos showed passengers escaping through emergency doors and standing on the plane’s wings.

 

This incident marks the second recent aviation mishap involving an American Airlines plane.

On January 29, a midair collision between an American Airlines aircraft and a United States Army helicopter near Washington, DC, resulted in the deaths of 67 people.

In the previous month, a Delta Air Lines regional jet turned upside down on landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport during windy conditions following a snowstorm, injuring 18 of the 80 people on board, with all passengers and crew members surviving.

Earlier this week, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom and Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian cited recent air crashes and adverse weather events in the US, along with economic uncertainty, as factors contributing to a decline in travel demand in the country.
