A Skywest Canadair CRJ-900 on behalf of US-Airways, registration N897SK performing flight OO-2948/US-2948 from Albuquerque,NM to Phoenix,AZ (USA) with 64 passengers, was on final approach to Phoenix when one of the air conditioning systems overheated. The crew continued for a safe landing. While the aircraft was taxiing towards the apron, passengers began to smell smoke, apparently from a lavatory, the smoke detector of the lavatory triggered prompting the crew to stop on the taxiway and have the passengers disembark via the aircraft's airstairs.

The aircraft was subsequently towed to the apron.

Passengers reported they smelled burning rubber.
