Smoke was reported inside a plane cabin during an American Airlines flight from Miami to San Francisco on Friday, injuring three people.
Flight 2045 arrived at San Francisco International Airport around 11 a.m. PT when the crew reported smoke coming out of the cabin as the aircraft headed toward the gate, the airport wrote on X.
Fire officials quickly evacuated passengers, who were taken to a different terminal, the airport confirmed.
Three people had minor injuries, with one of them needing to be medically transported, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
“The bag was quickly removed by our crew members, and all customers exited the aircraft,” American Airlines said in a statement. “We thank our crew members for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
Some passengers exited the Airbus A321 on emergency slides, while others deplaned using the jet bridge.
