A United Airlines flight landed at Denver airport on Sunday with one of its engines on fire.

No one was injured and all passengers were evacuated safely, Denver International Airport said.

Pictures on social media showed the Bombardier jet on the tarmac, with the left engine in flames.

United Airlines said the SkyWest Airlines flight 5869 from Aspen Colorado "experienced engine issues" after landing safely.

"All 59 passengers and crew members safely deplaned the aircraft and were transported to the terminal," it said.
