A plane never departed Miami International Airport Wednesday night due to fumes inside the cabin, officials said.
Passengers evacuated Barbados-bound American Airlines flight 338 and were bussed back to the terminal to board another flight, MIA spokesperson Greg Chin said.
American Airlines officials said the fumes were a "chemical odor" caused by the contents of a customer's carry-on luggage.
They added all customers were offered hotel accommodations and the flight was rescheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday.

It's unclear how many people were on board and if there were any reported injuries.
Several Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units were spotted on the runway. The scene was cleared by 11 p.m.
