Singapore's international airport says a Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300 made an emergency landing after an engine caught fire early Monday. No one was injured.

Changi Airport said in a statement that flight CX715 took off from Singapore heading to Jakarta at 1:12 a.m., but soon turned around after engine trouble and landed at 1:57 a.m.

The airport said firefighters extinguished the fire and normal flight operations resumed on the runway about an hour later.

The airport would not say how many passengers were on board the flight. A Cathay Pacific spokesman was not immediately available to comment.
