Fire broke out Tuesday on a British Airways flight at the Las Vegas airport, but it was put out with only a couple of minor injuries, according to McCarran International Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a statement saying the plane's left engine caught fire and the crew aborted its takeoff. Passengers exited using the emergency slides and were awaiting buses back to the terminal.
Flight 2276 – a Boeing 777-200 with 275 seats – was scheduled to take off about 4 p.m. Pacific time, bound for London's Gatwick Airport when the incident happened, according to the airport's Twitter feed.
The fire was put out by 4:22 p.m., according to the airport. By that point, all passengers were off the plane and awaiting buses to the terminal, the airport said.
Witness Paul Berberian, who shot a video of the plane, told CNN, "The whole thing kind of played out in the course of just a few minutes."
The plane was carrying 159 passengers and 13 crew members, and two were transported for minor injuries, the airport said.
The incident took one runway out of service, but the airport said the other three runways were operating.
