A video shows flames coming out of the aircraft’s engine as it moved forward, seemingly slowing its pace.
"Investigations into the exact nature of the engine problem are currently underway," a spokesperson for Swiss International Air Lines said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "However, depending on the problem with an engine, it is possible that a flame may be visible for a brief moment."
"There appears to be black smoke from one of the engines as you revved up," an air traffic controller told the Swiss Air Lines crew, according to Boston 25 News. "We have the fire department on their way out on the runway now; they’re coming to take a look at it. They can give you a better assessment."
Prior to the attempted takeoff, the Swiss aircraft had been at Logan since it arrived from Zurich on Sunday, according to reports.
"The crew of SWISS Flight 55 stopped their takeoff at Boston Logan International Airport due to engine issues around 6:25 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The FAA briefly paused some arrivals to the airport before the plane taxied off the runway," the FAA told NBC 10 Boston. "The FAA will investigate."
Swiss International Air Lines told Fox News Digital there were no injuries to the 223 passengers and 13 crew members aboard the flight.
