A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency return to Salt Lake City Airport after one of its engines caught fire on Monday, February 26, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

The plane, which was heading to Los Angeles, had to return to Salt Lake City shortly after takeoff at 6.45 am, according to local news reports. The plane landed successfully and no one was injured, the report said.
