It must have been very scary experience on Sunday .The flight to London from Doha had to return after take -off -as there was a very strong smell of burning and the cabin was full of thick smoke .
It landed luckily and the fire was put out .It is believed to be caused by faulty electric wiring but it is not official yet .
I found a very interesting opinion about what might be behind the incident .
"The problem nowadays, not only with Qatar Airways, is that their route/ flight expansions require a heavy utilization of their fleets leading to shorter turn around times, this in turn leads to flippant checking/maintenance of the smaller details such as wearing out wiring insulation etc. and this can also lead to such events....there are many reported events involving smoke/burning smells in different parts of the aircraft from all over the world."
