Passengers were forced to deplane from an Air China (CA) aircraft that was preparing to fly from Fuzhou to Beijing after smoke was detected in the aircraft engine on Thursday morning.

The Beijing-bound flight CA1822 was performed by a Boeing 738 aircraft, Registration B-5507. The flight was scheduled to take off from Fuzhou at 7:45 a.m. and land in Beijing at 10:35 a.m.

Six firetrucks arrived at the scene in time, taking control of the fire. No injuries were reported.
