MIAMI– A cargo plane made an emergency landing at Miami International Airport after experiencing an engine failure shortly after takeoff, an airline spokesman said.
The plane landed safely Thursday evening “after an engine failure occurred shortly after departure,” an Atlas Air spokesman said in a statement Friday. “The crew followed all standard operating procedures and returned safely to MIA.”
Atlas will conduct an inspection to determine the cause, the spokesperson said.
Unverified videos on social media platform X showed flames shooting from the wing of a plane near the airport during the flight.
Messages seeking comment were left Friday for the airport and the Federal Aviation Administration.
