LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Flames and smoke were seen coming from a plane that made a hard landing at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon.

Frontier Flight 1326 landed in Las Vegas around 3:40 p.m. after “the pilots detected smoke and declared an emergency,” a spokesperson for Frontier Airlines confirmed to CBS News.

The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew were evacuated. No injuries were reported and the passengers were bussed to the terminal.

The flight left San Diego at 1:51 p.m. and landed in Las Vegas at 3:37 p.m., according to Flight Aware.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
