A Cathay Pacific Airways flight arriving in Hong Kong from India was seen emitting smoke on Sunday after an on board air-conditioning system overheated, with no injuries reported.
Flight CX624 from Bengaluru landed at Hong Kong International Airport at 9.53am, when smoke was reported on the A330 aircraft.
A preliminary police investigation found the smoke originated from the overheating air-conditioning system, and it dissipated shortly after landing as the system cooled.
All passengers and crew were safely evacuated, with no injuries reported, according to the force.
The South China Morning Post has contacted Cathay Pacific and the Civil Aviation Department for comment.
In a separate incident last January, a Cathay Pacific flight from Boston reported smoke in the cockpit and cabin shortly after take-off. The aircraft later returned in accordance with standard procedures.
