Jason Momoa's travel plans were rudely interrupted on Wednesday after his plane was forced to make an emergency landing at the Palm Springs International Airport in Calfornia post a fire scare. 

The 'Games of Thrones' star who played the role of Dothraki chief Khal Drogo was onboard a flight whose engine reportedly caught fire, as reported by the Palm Springs Professional Firefighters Local 3601 union. Jason Momoa himself also addressed the delay on his Instagram and said, "Half hour out of Palm Springs, and the plane wanted to start a fire," before adding "Good old fire department, Gotta love 'em."
