JetBlue Flight Bound for Bradley Diverted Due to Fumes in Cabin

A JetBlue flight heading from Tampa to Bradley International Airport was diverted to Virginia on Monday afternoon after "an unknown odor" was reported in the cockpit, according to an airline spokesperson.

Flight 1534 landed safely in Norfolk, Virginia shortly after 4:30 p.m., airline officials said.

NBC affiliate WAVY reports that the Embraer 190 carrying 93 people was taxied to Landmark Aviation, where airport fire officials checked the aircraft for hotspots.

A spokesperson for the Norfolk International Airport told WAVY that JetBlue would decide whether to continue the flight with the same aircraft or switch the passengers to another plane.

Flight status information posted to the JetBlue site shows Flight 1534, which was scheduled to arrive at Bradley at 4:42 p.m., was diverted and expected to get in around 9:08 p.m.
