据空中交通管制录音显示，美国航空一架航班上一名乘客的笔记本电脑起火，飞行员报告称部分乘客可能被烧伤。
达拉斯沃思堡国际机场在一份声明中表示，美国航空2398号航班降落后，一名乘客接受了治疗并已出院。
“飞机后部客舱起火，”飞行员在哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）新闻获取的空中交通管制录音中说道，“乘务员正在全力灭火。”
该航班从亚特兰大起飞，机上共有133名乘客，飞行员向空管人员通报。
“我估计大约有四到五名乘客被笔记本电脑烧伤，”飞行员说，“起火的笔记本电脑被控制在机身中部区域。”
美国航空在一份声明中称：“美国航空2398号航班在降落期间接到乘客设备冒烟的报告后，安全降落在达拉斯沃思堡国际机场。我们感谢机组人员的专业素养和迅速反应，及时控制住了涉事设备。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）置评。
美国联邦航空管理局表示，笔记本电脑和手机等设备使用的锂电池因过热可能在航班上引发风险，这一过程被称为“热失控”。
“热失控可能在毫无预警的情况下发生，诱因包括电池受损、过热、进水、过充或包装不当等多种因素，”美国联邦航空管理局在一份安全公告中称。
鉴于此类风险，美国联邦航空管理局对航班上携带的锂电池尺寸作出了限制。
根据美国联邦航空管理局的数据，今年截至目前，航班上已报告至少56起涉及冒烟、起火或过热的锂电池事件。
今年2月，阿拉斯加航空一架飞往堪萨斯州威奇托的航班在起飞后，因一名乘客的充电宝过热起火，被迫折返华盛顿州西雅图。

A passenger’s laptop caught fire on an American Airlines flight Friday, with the pilot reporting that some passengers may have been burned, according to air traffic control audio.
One passenger was treated and released after American Airlines Flight 2398 landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the airport said in a statement.
“Cabin fire in the back of the airplane,” the pilot says in air traffic control audio obtained by CBS News. “The flight attendants are trying to put it out now.”
The flight, which originated in Atlanta, had 133 people on board, the pilot told air traffic controllers.
“I think we have about four to five passengers that were burned by the laptop,” the pilot says. “The laptop is contained about mid-aircraft.”
“American Airlines flight 2398 landed safely at DFW after reports of smoke from a customer’s device during landing,” American Airlines said in a statement. “We thank our crew for their professionalism and swift response to quickly contain the device.”
CBS News has reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration for comment.
The lithium batteries used in devices such as laptops and cellphones can pose risks on flights due to overheating, according to the FAA, because of a process known as “thermal runaway.”
“Thermal runaway can occur without warning as a result of various factors, including if the battery is damaged, overheated, exposed to water, overcharged, or improperly packed,” the FAA says in an advisory.
The FAA has size limits for lithium batteries on flights because of those risks.
So far this year, there have been at least 56 lithium battery incidents reported on flights that involved smoke, fire or overheating, per FAA data.
In February, an Alaska Airlines flight bound for Wichita, Kansas, was forced to return to Seattle, Washington, after a passenger’s power bank device overheated and caught fire.
