A Singapore Airlines flight to Milan caught fire after returning to Singapore's Changi airport following an engine oil warning message.
The airline and airport officials confirmed that all passengers were safe.
The aircraft's right engine caught fire early on Monday after the aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, touched down at Changi airport at around 6.50am (local time).
Singapore Airlines has put out a statement saying emergency services put out the fire and there were no injuries to the 222 passengers and 19 crew on board.
"Passengers disembarked through stairs and were transported to the terminal building by bus. Passengers will be transferred to another aircraft which is expected to depart for Milan later today," the statement said.
The Singapore Airlines flight, SQ368, departed at 2.05am (local time), but about two hours into the flight the pilot announced there was an engine problem and the flight would return to Singapore, Channel News Asia reported.
