NEWARK — Smoke on an aircraft led to 189 passengers being evacuated from an aircraft in an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport on Saturday morning, a Port Authority official said.
The incident prompted the airport to shut down all runways briefly.
The pilot of the Florida-bound Air Transat flight requested the emergency landing in Newark Liberty International Airport at about 8:20 a.m., said Steve Coleman, a Port Authority spokesperson. The plane landed safely.
The passengers were evacuated by the emergency chutes once the plane landed.
There was a minor injury were two minor injuries that were unrelated to the smoke. One person who complained of pain from sliding down the chute. Another person suffered a panic attack, Coleman said. The passengers were being treated as a precaution.
