CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A possible odor aboard an American Eagle flight forced the plane to stop on the taxiway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Monday morning, airline officials said.
The aircraft was stopped shortly after 9:30 a.m. local time due to the potential odor in its cabin, American Airlines spokesman Andrew Trull told The Charlotte Observer. Passengers were asked to deplane through boarding doors onto the ramp, he said.
Buses took the passengers back to the terminal where they are expected to board another aircraft for their flight to Melbourne, Florida, Trull said.
