A Frontier Airlines plane flying from San Diego to Las Vegas was filmed with flames and smoke coming from its landing gear during landing.

Frontier Flight 1326 left San Diego International Airport on schedule at 1:51 p.m. Saturday, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. The Airbus A321neo landed at Harry Reid International Airport 37 minutes late, at 3:37 p.m.

“Surprised me,” said X user @TylerHerrick, who posted the video on social media. “Firefighters sprayed the plane with foam, according to @liveatc, they will evacuate via stairs (without blowing on slides).”

Frontier reported to X that the pilots detected smoke during landing and declared an emergency.

Frontier made headlines last August when a video surfaced showing a woman getting into an altercation with airline employees, even going so far as to throw computer equipment at them in Chicago.

The 31-year-old suspect was filmed in a staff area behind a check-in counter, engaging in a verbal altercation with two women aged 24 and 40, before knocking various objects onto a desk.

The traveler who had it all told Storyful that the woman “lost it” after missing her flight.

Earlier the same month, a Frontier Airlines pilot arrested resulting in a flight cancellation at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, authorities confirmed to Storyful. The pilot, identified by the Houston Police Department as Seymour Walker, 45, was wanted on a domestic violence warrant.

Video captured by one of the passengers showed Walker being escorted off the plane by three officers as he was handcuffed and led to a patrol car. He was taken into custody before passengers boarded Flight 3195 bound for Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
