A Delta Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N359DN performing flight DL-2309 from Minneapolis,MN to Orlando,FL (USA) with 137 people on board, was enroute at FL350 about 90nm west of Milwaukee,WI (USA) when the crew donned their oxygen masks and decided to divert to Milwaukee reporting smoke and a fire on board somewhere in the back between seatrows 23, 24 and 25. The aircraft landed on Milwaukee's runway 07R and stopped on the runway for inspection by emergency services. After about 10 minutes the aircraft taxied to the apron after emergency services found the temperatures okay, the assumption was the smoke/smell related to the inflight entertainment system.
The aircraft continued the flight to Orlando after about 14 hours on the ground and reached Orlando with a delay of about 14 hours.
The airline reported the aircraft diverted due to a smokey odour on board.
Passengers reported smoke and fumes in the back of the aircraft, the smell of melting plastics.
