AN AIR Canada flight returned to Sydney airport yesterday after crew members saw smoke coming from an oven in the galley, an airline official said.
No one on Flight AC34 was injured in the incident, which forced the pilot to dump fuel before safely landing the plane in Sydney, said Jeannie Foster, Air Canada's general manager for Australia and New Zealand.
"There was smoke seen by a crew member in an oven so the captain made the right decision and decided to come back to Sydney to check it out as a safety precaution," Foster told The Associated Press.
She denied earlier reports of a fire breaking out on board. "There was no fire at all," she said.
There was no damage to the Boeing 777.
