An Aer Lingus Airbus A320-200, registration EI-DVK performing flight EI-776 from Dublin (Ireland) to Lanzarote,CI (Spain), was enroute at FL360 about 170nm south of Dublin when the crew decided to return to Dublin advising ATC flight attendants had reported some odour in the passenger cabin. The crew subsequently advised they suspected the odour originated from the air conditioning system, no services were needed in Dublin. The aircraft burned off fuel and landed safely back in Dublin about 75 minutes after departure.

The airline reported the aircraft returned due to a technical issue. A replacement A320-200 registration EI-DES reached Lanzarote with a delay of 6 hours.
