**Emergency Landing for British Airways Flight Amid Smoke Scare** A British Airways flight was forced to make an emergency landing this afternoon after reports of smoke in the cabin. The Airbus A320, operating as flight BA603, was en route from Istanbul to London when it diverted to Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport. The aircraft, carrying 142 passengers, requested an emergency landing at approximately 5.50pm local time and touched down safely at 6.14pm. Medical teams were on standby and quickly boarded the plane to assist four passengers who were reported to be suffering from smoke inhalation. Romania’s Ministry of Health confirmed the presence of smoke upon landing and stated, "Four people are in poor health, possibly being smoke-intoxicated, and are receiving medical assistance on site." However, the ministry later clarified that these individuals did not require further medical care. British Airways issued a statement emphasising that the safety of passengers and crew is their top priority. A spokesperson noted, "Our crew made the decision to divert as a precaution due to a suspected technical issue." They added, "The aircraft landed safely and customers disembarked as normal. We’re sorry to our customers for the disruption to their journeys and our teams are working to get them on their way again as quickly as possible." The airline's flight status page reflected the diversion, stating, "We’re very sorry, this flight scheduled from Istanbul to London has been diverted to Bucharest." Further details regarding the incident have not been disclosed.
