An Allegiant Airbus A319-100, registration N320NV performing flight G4-2216 from Orlando Sanford,FL to Bloomington,IL (USA) with 130 passengers and 6 crew, was enroute at FL350 about 35nm northwest of Jacksonville,FL (USA) when the crew donned their oxygen masks and decided to divert to Jacksonville reporting they had a strong electrical burning odour associated with their avionics in the cockpit, the situation was stable however. The aircraft landed on Jacksonville’s runway 08 about 20 minutes later and stopped. The crew advised emergency services, still with the oxygen masks on, that they had a pretty bad electrical smell but no signs of smoke and queried the services whether they could see anything bad around the aircraft, in particular around the avionics area. Emergency services reported they noticed nothing out of the ordinary, the crew decided to taxi to the apron.
A replacement A320-200 registration N261NV reached Bloomington with a delay of 4.5 hours.
