An El Al Israel Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Montana on Sunday after the pilot received an automated alert that the aircraft's engine was on fire, transportation officials said.
The Boeing 777 aircraft, carrying 279 passengers and 20 crew members, landed on the runway of Billings Logan International Airport about 6 a.m. local time, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting supervisor Mike Glancy said.
The pilot grounded the plane after a cockpit warning light switched on, indicating a fire in the right engine, Glancy said. After the plane landed, fire and transportation officials examined it but found no sign of smoke or fire.

"Air Israel, please clear the runway."
Ooh, they “landed on the runway”. Sounds series.
I’ll except them as refuges. Israels army has been kick the crap out of the mussies for years and they all know how to use firearms.
Except or accept? Big difference.
accept
Damned auto correct
I find those “great circle” routes interesting.
I flew from Atlanta to Seoul once and couldn’t figure out why we were over snow covered mountains for hours.
In my minds eye we would hit the Pacific coast around Portland and fly north of Hawaii then into South Korea. The reality was over Canada, Alaska and eastern Siberia.
That is hilarious. Does that make me an anti-Semite? I think Bibi might laugh, too
Well the writers of “Airplane” were Jewish.
El Al currently flies TLV-LAX nonstop?
Safest airline by far.....rather expensive too!!!
Defective sensor.
20 crew members? That’s a lot of crew.
That’s too funny!!
