An American Airlines flight from Rome to Philadelphia diverted to Dublin on Saturday after a reported odor onboard prompted a medical evaluation for multiple people.
Flight 719, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, departed Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) around noon local time but diverted to Dublin Airport roughly three hours into the flight, according to FlightAware.
An American Airlines spokesperson told FOX Business the reported odor was traced to an oven onboard the aircraft.
