A Dreamliner operated by Polish airline LOT has made an emergency landing in Glasgow after an alert from the fire protection system in the baggage hold.
The Boeing 787 was flying from Chicago to Warsaw with 248 people on board when the captain requested the emergency landing.
LOT spokeswoman Barbara Pijanowsk-Kuras said the emergency landing was required according to safety procedures after the crew received a warning from the firefighting system.
News reports said the pilot had reported a smell of smoke in the cabin.
The plane, which landed safely at 11.35am, was met by airport emergency services and checked by firefighters. It was deemed safe before it taxied to a stand.
The passengers have since disembarked, while the aircraft is "under technical review", a statement by the airline said.
The airport remains open, and LOT said it was considering using another aircraft to bring the passengers to Warsaw.

Last year, the model was grounded around the world for three months while the battery systems were checked after a few of the aircraft developed problems that led to the appearance of smoke.
The battery appeared to overheat, reaching temperatures capable of melting rock.
Boeing redesigned the battery, charger and containment system to ensure battery fires would not put the aircraft at risk. Since then, the aircraft have experienced a series of minor glitches, including a fault with an air pressure sensor and the brake system.
Boeing insists the Dreamliner is operating safely.
