A Delta Air Lines flight at Orlando International Airport caught fire on Monday just before departing for Atlanta. Fortunately, all 282 passengers, 10 crew members, and two pilots were safely evacuated without any injuries. The incident involved an engine fire detected late in the morning, prompting swift action by the flight crew and airport rescue teams. Recent aviation incidents, including crashes and near-misses, have raised safety concerns among travelers; however, air travel is still considered largely safe. Delta has initiated an investigation to determine what caused the engine fire in the Airbus A330.
Delta flight crews followed procedures to evacuate the passenger cabin when flames in the tailpipe of one of the aircraft's two engines were observed.
A recent spate of aviation disasters and close calls in the U.S. has stoked fears about air travel, though flying remains a safe way to travel.
