The 133 people aboard an American Airlines flight headed to Dallas, Texas, are safe after a device caught fire in mid-air Friday evening.
American Airlines released a statement saying flight 2398 landed safely at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport after reports of smoke from a customer’s device during landing.
According to air traffic control audio, the pilot reported, during landing, that there was a fire in the back of the cabin, and flight attendants were working to put it out.
“We thank our crew for their professionalism and swift response to quickly contain the device,” American Airlines said in a statement.
