Oven Fire Diverts American Airlines Flight to Houston

No injuries reported as Boeing 737-800 lands safely; passengers face significant delay.

American Airlines Flight 885, heading from Austin, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina, was diverted to Houston due to an oven fire in the forward galley.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft landed safely and without incident, taxiing to the gate under its own power.
No injuries were reported, and passengers were rebooked on alternate flights.
The plane was grounded for approximately eight hours before it was able to continue its journey to Charlotte.
The incident comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Boeing aircraft following a separate incident involving a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane earlier this month.
