An Icelandair Boeing 757-200, registration TF-ISK performing flight FI-441 from Manchester,EN (UK) to Keflavik (Iceland), was enroute at FL380 about 75nm southwest of Glasgow,SC (UK) when the crew decided to divert to Glasgow reporting a burning odour in the cabin. The aircraft landed safely on Glasgow’s runway 23 about 25 minutes later.

Maintenance determined a seat box was the source of the odour, removed that seat box, de-activated the inflight entertainment system and returned the aircraft to service.

The aircraft was able to depart Glasgow after about 4 hours on the ground and reached Keflavik with a delay of 4 hours.
