An Air Canada flight from Sydney to Toronto is back in flight after a smoke scare from the plane's galley this morning.



"The aircraft was inspected by our maintenance teams, and the flight re-departed Sydney approximately 90 minutes later, and is currently in flight," said Angela Mah, a spokesperson with Air Canada.



The flight made an emergency landing at Sydney’s airport 30 minutes into the flight after smoke was detected in the plane’s galley.



The turn-around was a “precautionary measure,” according to Air Canada. The plane landed without incident, and is undergoing an inspection by a maintenance team.



Air Canada's general manager for Australia and New Zealand, Jeannie Foster, told an Australian radio station that "it was just smoke coming from an oven, there were no injuries."



“Emergency services were called out as per standard procedures as a precautionary measure,” explained Mah.



The Boeing 777 aircraft was carrying 262 passengers, and was en route to Toronto, making a stop in Vancouver.



A representative of Australia Air Services, the country’s air traffic controller, said firefighters were standing by, but were not required.



According to an Australian media report, the plane dumped fuel over Sydney during the turn-around.



Flight AC34 was scheduled to land in Toronto at 4:15 p.m. It is now expected to land at 7:30 p.m., according to Air Canada's website.
