CAL: No fire on flight from Tobago

There had been rumours that an engine of the aircraft had caught afire. The aircraft operating the service was an ATR-72- 600, and it has since been withdrawn from service to allow for all appropriate inspections and procedures, Ligoure said.

Meanwhile a CAL release said that the flight crew followed all standard operating procedures.

As a precautionary measure, the release said, the crew requested airport services to meet and inspect the aircraft on its arrival at Piarco International Airport.

The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew disembarked.
