A Delta Airlines passenger plane caught fire at Orlando International Airport (Florida, USA) when the flight was already on the runway and preparing to depart. This was reported on April 21 by CBS News TV channel with reference to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The plane's crew evacuated passengers via emergency ladders when flames appeared in the exhaust pipe of one of the liner's two main engines.
