Harry Reid Airport^ 2-7-2024 Las Vegas^ NV USA Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 N722FR on final for 26L at Harry Reid International Airport

A Frontier Airlines flight from San Diego to Las Vegas caught fire Saturday and was forced to make an emergency landing at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Per NBC News, one of the pilots detected smoke in the cockpit and declared an emergency landing, with video footage showed flames and smoke on the plane’s undercarriage as it touched down on the runway. Fire trucks and other emergency service vehicles rushed onto the runway, as smoke continued to surround the plane. The incident has prompted an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board announced Sunday morning that it’s also launching an investigation into the emergency landing.

In a statement to ABC News, a Frontier spokesperson for the airport said: “Frontier flight 1326 experienced a hard landing. The pilots detected smoke and declared an emergency. The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew were evacuated via airstairs. No injuries were reported, and passengers have been bussed to the terminal. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation. The Clark County Fire Department responded immediately and all passengers and crew have been safely transported to the gated area. No injuries were reported.”

Frontier said in a post on X: ‘As Flight 1326 from San Diego to Las Vegas was in the process of landing at LAS this afternoon at approximately 3.15p PT, the pilots detected smoke and declared an emergency. The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew were evacuated via airstairs. No injuries were reported, and passengers have been bussed to the terminal. There were a total of 190 passengers and 7 crew members on board. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.’
