Feb 2 (Reuters) - More than 100 people were evacuated

from a plane on the runway at a Houston airport in the southern

United States on Sunday due to an engine issue, federal

authorities and the airline said.

No one was reported injured after the crew of United

Airlines flight 1382 received an indication about one

engine and halted takeoff while still on the runway, the airline

said.

"Passengers deplaned on the runway via a combination of

slides and stairs" and were taken by bus to the terminal, the

company said in a statement.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it will

investigate the incident, which occurred around 8:35 a.m. local

time at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

There were 104 passengers and five crew members on the

Airbus A319, which was due to depart for New York's La Guardia

airport, the airline said.

The Houston fire department wrote on X: "HFD did not put out

a fire on this incident."

Last week, an American Airlines ( AAL ) regional passenger

jet collided in midair with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter

and crashed into the Potomac River near Reagan Washington

National Airport.
