Brazil: A panic gripped several passengers of a low-cost Brazilian airline when one of its engines caught fire moments before take-off. The plane was about to take off from the Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil when sparks from the engine turned into fire just seconds before it was about to take off. 

The Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes flight was going from Rio de Janeiro to Porto Alegre. 

The incident was captured on camera by one of the passengers inside the plane.

According to reports, the pilot and cabin crew of the flight noticed the technical problem and the take-off was aborted.

All onboard were safely evacuated and no one was harmed in the incident.

Earlier in April, a Fly Dubai aircraft caught fire in one of its engines soon after taking off from the Tribhuvan International Airport but landed safely in Dubai.

Fly Dubai Airlines spokesperson informed that the flight experienced a bird strike during takeoff from Kathmandu.

The Fly Dubai aircraft heading towards Dubai returned back and hovered over the skies in Dharke after a problem was reported in one of its engines, sources said. The pilots later told the control tower they will continue after finding out that all indicators are normal.
