DJ402 declared a Pan Pan this morning and was given priority landing clearance on runway 16R. Pilot reported smoke in the cockpit and cabin. After landing aircraft was escorted back to the terminal by 3 fire trucks. If not mistaken the flight departed Sydney for Adelaide and was forced to return.

The flight was operated by VH-VUF (737-800)

Are you sure its Smoke in the Cockpit..... last I heard it was a "smell", would that be a newsworthy article then?

Greg/Karl
At the end of the day, it’s the editors/producers who determine if the event is newsworthy, not which Airline!

Cheers

Would you call a PAN PAN just for a smell? :confused:

A smell could mean something is burning, and there is no time to get up and have a look. Better safe than sorry.
