BANGOR (AP) — A Scandinavian Airlines Airbus 330 was diverted to Bangor International Airport because its cockpit filled with smoke. It landed safely.
The airplane, which had 230 passengers and 12 crew members on board, was enroute from Newark, N.J., to Copenhagen, Denmark, when it was diverted to Bangor on Wednesday. It landed shortly before 7:30 p.m.
Tony Caruso, the airport’s interim director, says the passengers and crew were checked for smoke inhalation but that he had not heard of any injuries.
