A Delta passenger jet caught fire on the tarmac at Orlando International Airport on Monday and passengers had to evacuate via the emergency slides, the Federal Aviation Authority said Monday.
Delta Air Lines Flight 1213, bound for Atlanta, was pushing back from the gate for departure at around 11:15 a.m. local time on Monday when an engine caught fire, the FAA said in a statement.
There were no initial reports of injuries.
"The fire was contained and is out," a spokesperson for the Orlando airport said, adding that fire crews are on the scene.
