Seven people were injured and three were taken to local hospitals after a Dynamic Airways plane caught fire at Fort Lauderdale International Airport on Thursday.
FAA officials said that the Boeing 767 caught fire while taxiing for departure.
A pilot in an aircraft traveling behind it reported that fuel was leaking from the plane before the fire started.
Smoke was billowing from the plane before firefighters doused it with foam.
Passengers evacuated the plane by sliding onto the runway, officials said.
It is unknown how many passengers were on board or how serious the injuries may be.
However, Dynamic has said on its website that its Boeing 767 aircrafts can accommodate up to 250 people.
