The number of passengers suing American Airlines over an engine fire in March is now at 17, attorneys for those plaintiffs say. The fire happened aboard a Boeing 737 that had taken off from Colorado Springs en route to Dallas.

Part of the plane’s landing gear caught on fire during its departure from Denver International Airport on Saturday, according to Denver7’s reporting. The Miami-bound American Airlines flight 3023 reported a “maintenance issue” with an airplane tire about 2:45 p.m. and aborted takeoff, airline and federal officials said.

American Airlines Flight AA3023 was evacuated at Denver Airport on July 26, 2025, after its main wheels caught fire. All safe, one minor injury, FAA probes cause., US News, Times Now
