A Spirit Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration N922NK performing flight
NK-135 from Minneapolis,MN to Orlando,FL (USA), was climbing out of Minneapolis when the crew stopped the climb at about 16000 feet reporting a right hand engine (PW1127G) fire indication. The crew worked the related checklist, shut the engine down and discharged the fire agent. The aircraft returned to Minneapolis for a safe landing on runway 30L about 24 minutes after departure and stopped on the runway for an inspection by emergency services. Emergency services reported they couldn't detect any fire and would follow the aircraft to the apron. The aircraft taxied to the apron with emergency services in trail.
A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration N697NK reached Orlando with a delay of about 3 hours.
