A Jetblue Embraer ERJ-190, registration N249JB performing flight B6-827 from Boston,MA to Baltimore,MD (USA) with 95 passengers and 4 crew, was enroute at FL320 about 95nm northnortheast of Philadelphia,PA (USA) when cabin crew noticed the smell of smoke in the cabin prompting the flight crew to divert the aircraft to Philadelphia. The aircraft landed safely on Philadelphia's runway 27L (active runways 09) about 25 minutes later, vacated the runway and stopped for inspection by emergency vehicles. Emergency services advised no traces of fire, heat or smoke were detected from the outside of the aircraft, vehicles would follow the aircraft to the stand. While communicating with dispatch to assign a gate emergency services alerted the cockpit, that a heat signature had been found at the aft cargo area, the crew responded with the evacuation of the aircraft. No injuries occurred during the emergency evacuation.

The airline reported the crew diverted as abundance of caution after a smell of smoke was detected in the cabin.

A replacement Embraer ERJ-190 reached Baltimore with a delay of 7:45 hours.
