One person reportedly has been injured at Charlotte Douglas International Airport after a Frontier Airlines plane was evacuated due to a "strong odor."
The incident happened as Flight 1759 was set to depart Wednesday night to Orlando, Florida.
"Yesterday evening as Flight 1759 was in the boarding process at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a strong odor was detected throughout the aircraft. As a matter of precaution, the captain issued an evacuation notice," Frontier Airlines told FOX Business in a statement.
You haven't seen much about this in mass media since it wasn't a Boeing aircraft.

The pilot did the right thing. The air conditioning/heating system of a commercial airliner is provided by "bleed air" from the engine or auxillary power unit (i.e., turbine engines). Fumes typically indicate air contaminated by heated oil or hydraulic fluids from leaking or failed seals. They could cause serious health impacts or death.
