Airport security officials say a small plane carrying ten passengers was forced to make an emergency landing in Grenada after its engine caught fire.

No one was injured.

The plane had left St Lucia and was en route to Trinidad Friday night when it was diverted to the Maurice Bishop International Airport. The cause of the fire is unclear.

It is owned by Briko Air Services Ltd, which is based in Trinidad.

A woman at the company who declined to give her name would not comment on the incident.

Briko Air Services has a fleet of nine single- and multiengine aircraft. It offers private charters to most Caribbean islands.
