A Delta Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration N702DN performing flight DL-26 from Seoul (South Korea) to Atlanta,GA (USA) with 316 people on board, stopped the climb out of Seoul at FL270 and was enroute still at FL270 about 600nm east of Tokyo about 4 hours into the flight when the crew decided to divert to Tokyo's Haneda Airport reporting a burning odour and smoke in the cabin. The aircraft landed safely on Haneda's runway 34R about 90 minutes after turning around.

The airline reported there was a burning odour in the business class followed by smoke. The inflight entertainment system was shut down and the smoke dissipated with some of the odour remaining. A fault in the electrical system is being suspected, a maintenance engineer travelling on board is investigating.
