answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The British Airways Airbus A380, on a flight from San Francisco to London, diverted to Vancouver because of a strange odour in the cabin. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch were made aware of the event but under international protocol, it was the responsibility of Canada, being the State of occurrence, to carry out an investigation. The Canadian Transport Safety Board, working with British Airways and Airbus technicians carried out an investigation but were not able to determine the cause. The same captain later flew the aircraft to London with the technicians on board, but there was no recurrence. The aircraft returned to service and British Airways continue to monitor key flights. To date no further reports have been made.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 17/11/2016 17:11:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
