Fire forces Emirate Airlines jet to land in Urumqi
AN Emirate Airlines flight from Dubai to Beijing made an emergency landing at Urumqi Airport in the capital of China's northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Monday after its luggage compartment caught fire.
No one was hurt in the accident and the fire was extinguished soon after the plane landed at 9:08pm, the Beijing Times reported today.
A fire alarm sounded when Flight EK308 was flying over Xinjiang. Passengers were told that their plane had to make an emergency landing at Urumqi Airport due to a problem with the luggage compartment. Nothing abnormal was observed in the passenger compartment.
Some luggage was burnt or charred. An airport worker who took part in the firefight said the fire might be caused by the spontaneous combustion of a battery. But the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
The Emirate Airlines has arranged another flight to send passengers to Beijing.
