Passengers on a Delta flight that had just landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Monday evening had to evacuate on emergency chutes because of a fire in the nose of the plane.
Delta Flight 604 from Cancún arrived at a Sea-Tac gate around 9:35 p.m. and plugged into electric power, Port of Seattle spokesman Perry Cooper said Tuesday morning. Sparks then caused an apparent fire in the nose area of the Airbus A321neo.
There wasn’t any fire when Port of Seattle firefighters arrived but they did spray water on the area, Cooper said.
No major injuries were reported.
The narrowbody jet was built in 2022, according to a Federal Aviation Administration registry.
