A Spirit Airlines flight was diverted and landed safely in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday after the crew reported a battery in an overhead bin was on fire.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the incident, which involved an Airbus A320 that departed from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and was headed to Orlando International Airport."Spirit Airlines Flight 259 landed safely at Jacksonville International Airport around 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1 after the crew reported a battery on fire in an overhead bin," an FAA spokesperson told CNN.The battery fire was believed to have been caused by a guest item in an overhead bin, according to a statement issued by a Spirit Airlines spokesperson. The fire was extinguished inflight."The plane landed at JAX and taxied to the terminal without incident," said the statement. "We thank our crew and Guests for their quick actions to ensure the safety of everyone onboard, and we thank first responders for meeting the aircraft."Among the passengers on board was Joseph Fleck, who told CNN he was traveling with his spouse and two children to Orlando to visit Disney World."Someone yelled 'fire' and I look up to see the cabin filling with smoke very fast," Fleck told CNN. "A few passengers jumped up to open the overhead bin and saw a backpack on fire due to a battery pack that was charging a cell phone. It had basically exploded."Fleck recorded a video showing fire officials boarding the plane and inspecting the overhead bin. He also shared an image of the smoke-filled cabin.The flight descended quickly before landing in Jacksonville, said Fleck."The smell was terrible and made it very hard to breathe," he said, adding his children were emotional but became relieved once they exited the plane. "I was coughing a lot for a good two hours after."Spirit Airlines didn't have a plane available for passengers impacted by the diversion, he said, so the family continued to Orlando in an Uber, which cost $250.

The pilots of a cargo plane that made an emergency landing off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii, early Friday morning told air traffic controllers one of their engines had failed moments before the flight went down, according to LiveATC recordings reviewed by CNN."The pilots had reported engine trouble and were attempting to return to Honolulu when they were forced to land the aircraft in the water," the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to CNN, adding both crew members were rescued. "The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate."The plane, a Boeing 737, had taken off from Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport at 1:33 a.m., according to Flightradar 24. The flight-tracking website shows that shortly after it took off, the plane -- referred to by the FAA's statement as Transair flight 810 -- began turning right and then signaled it was diverting to a nearby airport, Kalaeloa Airport. The pilots reported they could not maintain airspeed and altitude following the failure of one of two engines on the Boeing 737-200, according to the LiveATC recordings, and that they suspected the second engine would also fail."We've lost number one engine and we're coming straight to the airport," a crew member said, requesting that air traffic controllers begin dispatching the airport fire department. "We're going to lose the other engine, too. It's running very hot."The plane went down approximately 2 nautical miles south of Kalaeloa, Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew West of the U.S. Coast Guard District 14 Hawaii Pacific told CNN.West told CNN that one crew member was rescued by the Coast Guard, while the second was rescued by a local fire department.Both crew members were brought to Queens Medical Center, West said, though he did not have information about their conditions."The weather on scene at the time of the rescue was winds of 17 mph and seas up to 5 feet," the Coast Guard said in a subsequent news release.According to the company website, Transair uses its Boeing 737 fleet to provide air cargo and charter services throughout Hawaii. The company has been in business since 1982.In a statement, Transair CEO Teimour Riahi said the two crew members who were on board are receiving medical care."We are working with the Coast Guard, the FAA and NTSB to secure the scene and investigate the cause," Riahi said. "Our most immediate concern is the care and recovery of our colleagues."FAA records show the plane was manufactured in 1975. Its last airworthiness certificate was issued in 2015 and was set to expire in 2024.A Boeing spokesperson told CNN in a statement the company was "aware of the reports out of Honolulu, Hawaii and are closely monitoring the situation.""We are in contact with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and are working to gather more information."The NTSB told CNN it was sending a team of seven investigators to look into the incident.
