A Spirit Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N655NK performing flight NK-1722 from Chicago,IL to Las Vegas,NV (USA), was enroute at FL360 about 130nm northeast of Denver,CO (USA) when the crew donned their oxygen masks reporting smoke in the cockpit and decided to divert to Denver. The aircraft landed safely on Denver’s runway 26 about 25 minutes after leaving FL360.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 3.5 hours, then continued the journey and reached Las Vegas with a delay of about 3.5 hours.
