ST. JOHN'S, Antigua (AP)  An Air Canada Boeing 767 flying from Barbados to Toronto made an emergency landing in Antigua after pilots reported smoke in the cabin, an airline official said Saturday.

No one was hurt aboard the flight, which carried 99 passengers and seven crew members.

Flight 967 landed at V.C. Bird International Airport on Friday morning, said Leslie Nanton, the airline's local manager.

Nanton said mechanics were working to determine the source of the problem. Passengers stayed overnight at an Antigua hotel and were to take another aircraft from Antigua to Toronto later Saturday.
