KLM685 Diverts to Bermuda due to Odor Onboard
« on: December 17, 2024, 03:31:38 UTC »
On January 13, KLM685 was enroute to Mexico City when the flight crew decided to divert to Bermuda because of a foul-smelling odor on board.  It turns out this flight was carrying a cargo of live pigs.  The flight crew did not declare an emergency or a pan pan but they had to enter a short hold to burn off some fuel before landing.  They landed safely a short time later without further incident.
