An Aer Lingus Airbus A320-200, registration EI-DEM performing flight EI-166 from Dublin (Ireland) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was climbing out of Dublin when the crew stopped the climb at about FL280 reporting fumes on board of the aircraft - the crew did not don their oxygen masks. The aircraft returned to Dublin, the crew advised while still working the checklists the source of the fumes appeared to be the air conditioning system. The aircraft landed safely on Dublin's runway 10R about 40 minutes after departure, vacated the runway and taxied to the apron.

The crew subsequently went to a hospital for checks.

The airline confirmed fumes in the cabin and stated, that no one required medical assistance after landing.
