Jet2 flight forced to return and make emergency landing after smoke spotted in cabin

However, it was forced to turn around after smoke was found.

The airline has confirmed it was caused by catering equipment.

Pilots turned the plane around just north of Dumfries and returned to Glasgow.

Jet2 has said the fault with the on-board oven caused smoke in the forward galley.

Passengers are due to board a replacement flight to Geneva.

A spokesperson for Jet2 said: "We can confirm that flight LS161 followed procedure and returned to Glasgow Airport after a minor fault with the oven in the forward galley created some smoke.
