A plane that took off from LaGuardia Airport returned to the Queens airfield and was evacuated on the tarmac after smoke was seen Wednesday afternoon in the cockpit of the commuter aircraft, the FAA said.
Passengers were evacuated once the smoke was reported aboard Envoy Air Flight 3340, which returned and landed on Runway 22 around 3:20 p.m., the FAA said.
The Embraer 135 was headed for Knoxville, Tenn. with 44 passengers and three crew, none of whom were reported injured, according to WNBC-TV. The passengers were bussed back to the terminal.
The runway was reopened at 4:05 p.m., the FAA said in a statement.
