WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - A Delta Air Lines DAL.N plane on Monday suffered an engine fire after pushing back from the gate at Orlando International Airport, forcing the passengers to evacuate using slides, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The Airbus A330 AIR.PA was set to depart for Atlanta when the engine caught fire around 11:15 a.m. The FAA will investigate. A number of recent aviation safety incidents in the United States have raised concerns.
