An American Airlines plane carrying 135 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing at Dublin airport this morning after smoke was reported on board.
The smoke was traced to an oven in one of the galleys.
A spokeswoman for the Dublin Airport Authority confirmed the Boeing 777-200 had been met by the airport's emergency services when it landed.
"The flight, which was travelling from Heathrow to JFK in New York was diverted after it was suspected there was smoke in the cockpit," she said.
"It landed safely and there was a full turn out of the Dublin airport emergency fire services. The passengers are now in the terminal building."
In a statement, American Airlines said flight 115 had made a "precautionary" landing following reports of smoke in one of the galleys.
"The Boeing 777-200 carrying 135 passengers and 14 crew landed at 09.40am local time. Emergency services met the aircraft as a precaution.
"Passengers disembarked normally and engineers began investigating the fault which was traced to a galley oven. Checks and repairs to the aircraft are underway.
"American Airlines has apologised to passengers for the inconvenience of the unscheduled stop in Dublin. The flight is expected to continue on to New York later today departing from Dublin at noon."
