A recent incident involving a Breeze Airways flight made headlines after a passenger's laptop caught fire, prompting an emergency diversion. The Airbus A220 was en route from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh when the incident occurred, leading to a diversion to Albuquerque. According to data from Flightradar24, the flight was approximately an hour into its journey when the cabin crew successfully extinguished the fire.
Fortunately, the incident resulted in only minor injuries to the laptop's owner, who was promptly treated by paramedics at the scene in Albuquerque. Reports suggest that the passenger was actively using the laptop at the time of the incident, rather than it being stored away.
