An Air France flight has been forced to make an emergency landing at Heathrow after 'fumes' were seen emerging from the aircraft's cockpit.
The aircraft was reportedly cruising at 35,000ft when an emergency was declared and the flight landed at the airport southwest of London where it was met by firetrucks.
Flight number AF1817 departed Dublin just after 6pm today (Wednesday, September 13) and was due to arrive into Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, at 8.15pm local time, but was diverted to the UK, reports DublinLive.
