Just checked in with the newsroom. Reports of fire on two airborne planes this morning, one Delta, the other American.

An AA spokesman MassPort spokesman Phil Orlandella told us nothing was found upon inspection of its 737, Flight 1875 to Chicago. It was a burning smell, not fire, he said.

The Herald is reporting the same for a Delta MD-88, Flight 1373 to LaGuardia — no fire, pilot smelled smoke in the cockpit.

No injuries reported.

9:50: Delta spokesman Anthony Black tell us firefighters were not able to find a heat source on board the plane. The theory of the moment is that there was a fire on the ground around the area which caused passengers and pilots to detect a burning smell. The Delta flight will take off at 1 p.m. to LaGuardia. Awaiting confirmation from the Fire Department and American Airlines.

Noon: The Boston Fire Department had no reports of major fires this morning.

Two different planes, two different airlines, both erroneously reporting fire and the smell of smoke? Something smells funny.
