A China Eastern plane made an emergency landing on Wednesday morning in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu province, after a portable charger caught fire and triggered its smoke detectors.
According to Nanjing Lukou International Airport, the MU2809 flight from Nanjing to Xiamen took off at 7:06 am and had to return to the airport due.
