What: Skywest Airlines Canadair CRJ-700 en route from Aspen to Denver
Where: Aspen
When: Mar 7 2010, 1 pm
Who: 66 passengers and 4 crew
Why: While en route, smoke was observed in the cockpit. The flight returned to Aspen within thirty minutes of takeoff, and passengers debarked without problem. The smoke was attributed to a faulty air conditioning system. After an article about this plane’s rapid repair and return to service, reports conflict whether this flight went on after repairs or whether it was ferried elsewhere empty by a skeleton crew for repairs.
