168 Passengers and six crew safe as aircraft diverted due to unidentified odor

The flight from London to Zurich was forced to divert to brussels Airport, where it landed safely despite the precautionary measure.

Airline officials said the odor, traced to the front galley, prompted the crew to initiate the diversion in line with safety protocols.

Emergency services, including airport fire brigades, conducted routine checks after the uneventful landing. Passengers were able to disembark normally and were assisted by airline staff, who arranged hotel accommodations and rebooking options for onward travel.

No immediate indication of a serious technical fault or hazardous condition has been reported, with the incident being treated as a precautionary diversion rather than a full-scale emergency.
