Airplane Catches Fire After Landing at Miami International Airport

| SFBW Staff

A passenger jet carrying 126 passengers caught on fire shortly after landing at Miami International Airport on Tuesday, leaving three people hospitalized with minor injuries. The Red Air Flight 203 from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, landed at about 5:30 p.m. when the front landing collapsed sparking the fire. Firefighters arrived on the scene to the airplane engulfed in flames after the landing gear malfunctioned. The plane skidded on the runway and stopped in a grassy area, but the firefighters were able to douse the fire and control the fuel spill after all passengers and crew were evacuated.

“When our fire crews arrived, they saw the wing of the aircraft was on fire. They quickly began working on putting out the fire utilizing specialized foam trucks,” Erika Benitez says, Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue spokeswoman.

RED Air is a new low-cost airline launched in November 2021 from the Dominican Republic. The company only offers service between its home base in Santo Domingo and Miami International Airport.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
