An American Eagle flight that departed Abilene on Thursday afternoon returned safely after an in-flight emergency, according to Don Green, transportation services director for the city of Abilene.

Passengers on the flight boarded another American aircraft and are “awaiting departure,” Green wrote in an email at 4:32 p.m.

There were no reported injuries.

The cause of the emergency was not detailed by Green, though city of Abilene scanner traffic reported smoke in the cockpit of the aircraft.
