A U.S. American Airlines flight was detected burning on board and made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff.

American Airlines flight AAL274, which departed Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for New York's JFK Airport at around 5 p.m. on the 14th, returned to LA, according to the Mirror and other foreign media.

Passengers complained of a 'strong smell of smoke' minutes after takeoff, and pilots also reported 'smell and taste' to the control tower.




According to the plane route tracking site 'FlightRadar24', the aircraft was an Airbus A32, which returned to LA and landed after takeoff, drawing a return route.

After landing, seven passengers were treated by medical staff, but they were not transferred to the hospital.

As a result of the aircraft inspection, no harmful substances or peculiarities were found. The flight took off again a few hours later.
