An Iberia airliner with 288 people aboard made an emergency landing at Lisbon airport on Friday because of smoke in the cabin and nine people were injured during the evacuation of the plane, officials said.

There was no immediate explanation for what caused the smoke, a spokeswoman for Iberia airline said. Lisbon airport was closed for about four hours because of the incident.

Eight people suffered minor injuries during the plane’s evacuation and one woman broke her leg, said Rui Oliveira, a spokesman for airport operator ANA-Aeroportos de Portugal. They were evacuated to a Lisbon hospital.

The plane had left Madrid bound for Mexico before being forced to land in Lisbon.
