A commercial jetliner’s engine caught fire Monday at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport in Illinois, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

United Airlines Flight 2091 to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in SeaTac, Washington, aborted takeoff after flames were seen shooting from the plane as it was taxiing, according to the FAA, which was cited by the Associated Press.

The airline said the plane, an Airbus A320, was towed to the gate and there were no injuries.

All 148 passengers were put on a different plane to complete their trip, and there were minimal delays, United said.

Arriving flights were briefly halted at O’Hare.

Firefighters and paramedics were called to the plane as a precaution.
