SAN DIEGO—A laptop battery pack caught fire in the cabin of a jetliner Feb. 7 on a flight from San Diego to New Jersey, forcing the plane to promptly double back to the bayside airport and leaving a half-dozen people with complaints of smoke inhalation.
United Airlines Flight 2664 left San Diego International Airport just after 7 a.m. Tuesday and returned about a half-hour later, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported.
