A flight bound for Abu Dhabi with about 280 passengers aborted its journey on Monday following a "fire" on its left wing, airport officials said. The Etihad flight was preparing for take-off when the pilots noticed the fire. Subsequently, all the passengers were safely disembarked and there were no injuries to anyone, officials added.
The fire was immediately put out by Fire Service personnel and the flight was cancelled. Etihad Airways could not be reached immediately for a comment.
