A Swiss International Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration HB-JDH performing flight LX-325 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Zurich (Switzerland), was enroute at FL350 about 30nm southwest of Brussels (Belgium) when the crew decided to divert to Brussels reporting indication of a possible fire in the cabin. The aircraft landed safely on Brussels' runway 07L about 20 minutes later, vacated the runway and stopped on the parallel taxiway. The crew queried emergency services whether an evacuation at the left hand side was possible but asked for stairs at the same time. About an hour after stopping on the parallel taxiway the aircraft continued to the apron.
The aircraft is still in Brussels about 4 hours after landing.
The airline reported the aircraft diverted due to an unusual odour from the forward galley. All passengers and crew disembarked normally, the passengers were taken to hotels.
