The airport said the plane had just finished the boarding process and was waiting to depart the gate for takeoff when the potential smoke was reported.
A representative of the airport said calls for mutual aid when an emergency is declared is standard procedure.
“This is done regardless of whether the event is deemed to be minor or major,” the statement read.
