Air France flight form Mexico City to Paris diverted to Montreal during the night.

The flight #AF179 departed Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez at 20:06 CST.

The Airbus A350-900 (registration F-HUVI) climbed to altitude cruise of 39,000 ft and flew for about 4 hours before ATC vectored the plane to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

The crew detected a burning smell from the galley and preferred to divert as precautionary measure.

Two hours later, the flight was cleared to continue to Paris.

The flight is expected to land at CDG Airport at 15:30 CEST.
