BA 777 Emergency Landing at Keflavik
Flight from LHR to Denver made an emergency landing at Keflavik after smoke poured from a galley oven.
All safe and no injuries.
Passengers and crew will be put up in a hotel overnight and continue journey tomorrow.

Aircraft is now on its way back to LHR after having been to Denver.
It is a shame any aircraft diversion has to warrant the media saying there is no link to terrorism, even when it is blatently obvious.
They should just not even mention it and leave it at what it is, an aircraft diversion!!

As a basic principle, if a cabin crew member finds that an oven is not clean, on boarding, what is the procedure? Do you delay departure while it is cleaned (I'm not sure we carry materials to do such a job thoroughly). Ground contractors usually do this during turnaround - do you wait while they are summoned? Or do you not use that oven and slow down the meal service?
Tabs please !
or someone left their handbag in it !!!!
