A SWISS flight from Zurich to New York was rerouted after the business cabin was flooded with smoke while in the air. The Airbus A330-300, Flight LX16, departed from Zurich International Airport at 10:26 a.m. on Monday and was scheduled to land at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York approximately eight hours later. The flight diverted to Bangor International Airport in Maine, the nearest airport. Due to its low congestion and long runway, the Bangor airport is a common and well-equipped pit stop for transatlantic emergency landings. “We are coordinating closely with Bangor International Airport and are doing everything we can to find a suitable solution for everyone affected as quickly as possible.”
