Crew on a Sri Lankan Airlines plane carrying 202 passengers have extinguished a mid-flight fire triggered by a mobile phone battery in an overhead locker, the carrier said Monday
The airline said a "major" incident was averted by the quick-thinking attendants on the flight Sunday from Kochi in India to Colombo.
Smoke was detected shortly after a meal service on the 70-minute flight, it said.
The smoke came from an overhead bin, the airline added, thanking its crew for "averting a major incident".
Crew suspected a lithium battery fire and put the luggage in water after failing to stop the smoke with a fire extinguisher, an airline statement said.
"The situation was successfully contained and the bag ceased to emit smoke," the statement said. "Upon investigation, the crew found a lithium battery pack and two mobile phones in the bag."
The airline did not give the make or model of the battery and the phones involved, but said an investigation was underway into the incident on the Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
No one was hurt.
In October, the carrier joined other airlines in banning Samsung Note 7 phones from its flights fearing spontaneous combustion.
