On May 18th 2016 Canada's TSB reported that cabin crew reported an eletrical smell near seats 1K and 1F, but no smoke. Although the cabin crew performed the smoke/fire/fumes checklist, the odour did not dissipate prompting the flight crew to declare PAN and to divert to Halifax, where the aircraft landed without further incident.
