An Easyjet Airbus A320-200, registration G-EZOU performing flight U2-6621 from Birmingham,EN (UK) to Berlin (Germany), was enroute at FL370 about 70nm west of Hanover (Germany) when the crew decided to divert to Hanover reporting smoke in the cockpit. The aircraft landed safely on Hanover’s runway 27R about 25 minutes later. Attending emergency services did not need to intervene.

The airline reported some unspecified technical defect as cause of the smoke. The passengers disembarked normally and were taken to Berlin by bus.

The aircraft remained on the ground in Hanover for about 18 hours, then positioned back to Birmingham and resumed service.
