Mangaluru:  All passengers aboard a flight were asked to disembark from the aircraft when smoke started to billow out of the aircraft's engine, just before takeoff, at the Mangaluru international airport on Wednesday morning.

The SpiceJet flight with 31 passengers was about to fly to Hyderabad from Mangaluru International Airport.  A major technical snag was detected in the aircraft's engine while the Airbus was moving towards the runway. Fire tenders and emergency staff of the airport rushed and succeeded in disembarking all the passengers safely.

The flight, which could accommodate over 70 passengers, had only 31 passengers. However, all the passengers were later sent to Hyderabad on another plane.
