A Swiss International Air Lines plane had to make an emergency landing Monday evening at Brussels Airport in Zaventem due to a technical problem.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, was en route from London to Zurich when a potential smoke odour was detected in the cabin. The aircraft landed safely at Brussels Airport around 19:30, where it was met by emergency services.
The 168 passengers and six crew members were evacuated through the usual exits. No injuries were reported, a Swiss spokesperson told the Swiss news agency Keystone-ATS.
According to the spokesperson, the incident was caused by an unusual smell coming from the aircraft's forward galley.
The passengers were accommodated in hotels, the spokesperson told Keystone-ATS.
