On approach to Dublin the crew advised that the smoke and smell had dissipated, the situation was under control, however, the aircraft would still stop on the runway for an inspection. The aircraft landed safely on Dublin's runway 28 about 35 minutes after leaving FL380.

Other landing traffic was redirected to runway 16 following the landing of TS-315.

The airline reported the aircraft diverted as a precaution for a technical verification.

On Jul 22nd 2015 the Canadian TSB reported that the flight crew was informed about smoke and an acrid odour in the cabin, declared PAN PAN, initiated an emergency descent and diverted to Dublin. While working the emergency checklists the crew received an ECAM indication of a fault in the cabin circulation system.
