On June 14, 2025, easyJet flight EZY2902, operating an Airbus A320, departed from Paphos International Airport (PFO) en route to Bristol Airport (BRS). While cruising at 36,000 feet over Turkey, the crew detected a smoke smell onboard, prompting a precautionary diversion.
The aircraft made an emergency descent and landed safely at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes after departure. Passengers were calmly evacuated, and emergency services met the aircraft upon arrival as a standard safety procedure.
The aircraft involved in the incident is an Airbus A320-214, registered as G-EZGX. Further, it is a 6.9-year-old aircraft powered by two CFM-56 engines.
In an official statement, easyJet confirmed the diversion was due to a “technical issue” that caused the odor.
