A passenger jet was evacuated at Copenhagen airport yesterday evening after a fire broke out in one of the engines, Danish police said.
Dramatic pictures captured firefighters hosing down the plane as passengers watched from a waiting room.
All passengers and crew got off the Airbus A320-232 without injury, police said on Twitter.
“A fire erupted in an engine of a passenger jet that was stopped at the gate. Fire is out. Passengers evacuated. No one injured,” police tweeted.
British Airways sources downplayed the incident, saying smoke was spotted coming from the plane due to “hot brakes” at around 8pm as the plane was at the gate.
The return flight to London was cancelled, leaving passengers frustrated once again.
Video and images posted to Twitter showed airport teams inspecting the airplane wing and engine for damage.
British Airways said in a statement, “All customers and crew disembarked the BA820 safely. We would never operate an aircraft unless it was safe to do so.”
