Passengers evacuated an American Airlines regional jet on the runway Tuesday in Augusta, Georgia, after smelling something burning and seeing light smoke in the cabin. American Flight 5406, operated by PSA Airlines landed in Augusta after a 36-minute flight from Charlotte, according to flight tracking site FlightAware.

The lawsuit calls the airline negligent for “failing to evacuate the passengers away from the burning engine” and “failing to timely request emergency assistance.”

Southwest Airlines is making another major change in the wake of the no-more-free bags furor, but this change might prove more popular with customers. On March 27, 2025, Southwest announced that its flight schedule would now be extended through Jan.
