A US passenger jet bound for Moscow has returned safely to a New York airport after reports its wing had caught fire.


The Delta Airlines Boeing 767 dumped fuel and turned back to John F Kennedy Airport after reports of engine trouble soon after take-off.



Emergency crews were sent to the airport to wait for the plane - which had 200 passengers on board - to land.


A fire official said there were no signs of fire once the plane landed, and no injuries were reported.


The jet landed at JFK airport at 1750 (2250 GMT).


A Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman said the incident was being investigated.
 
I read the thread title and thought it might have been referring to a Qantas plane, lol. They have been having so many issues lately.
