Officials for the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration said Flight 64 landed safely at 7:15 p.m. EDT at an airport in Halifax, Canada, after the pilot declared an emergency due to smoke in the mid-cabin.
The plane had departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York bound for Zurich.
American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said there were 194 passengers and 12 crew members aboard.
Halifax Stanfield International Airport spokesman Peter Spurway said the smoke was traced to a fan motor in the bathroom.
All passengers got off safely, but one was taken away by ambulance to hospital, Spurway said.
“I don’t know the nature of the issue whether it was related or not or whether it was just stress,” Spurway said. “Everybody else is fine.”

AA inhumanely left the passengers stranded in the airport with no food for 7 hours already!!!!!!!! Only one bottle of water for each passenger! My father is in his 70’s with a pacemaker and medication to take – no food!!!!! DISGUSTING! They should have placed the passengers in a hotel overnight. NEVER FLY AMERICAN AGAIN
I was on an American Airline flight on Monday bound for London and waited on board for over two hours before takeoff with the doors locked, seatbelts on and …just waiting… they were fixing the weather radar system. Of course everyone on board missed their connections because of this delay.
Aren’t airlines supposed to check their systems before boarding??
They better start improving their safety features soon if they do not want to have more emergencies Chas V’Chalila!
# 3 you’re asking what’s going on with airplanes today??? Ask what’s going on with the people today, that Hashem keeps sending us messages to do tshuvah. Too many tragedies taking place. These are wake-up calls, my friend!
