Where: Tokyo
When: Jan 2nd 2010
Who: 2 crew
Why: After takeoff, the plane had problems with cabin pressure. The crew returned to the airport and made a safe landing. Japan’s Aviation Ministry makes a denial, although what they are denying is unclear: the report, the problem with the air pressure, the specific problem, or that the indicator was faulty. With only two crew members aboard the Airbus, perhaps it was a maintenance or test flight, but your guess is as good as mine.

Where: Iran
When: January 3, 2009
Who: not available
Why: While en route, the crew developed an issue with air traffic control in Dubai which forced an emergency landing in Iran. According to news reports, “The passengers have been given water, and an external air conditioner has been hooked up. In the near future, the aircraft should fly to Dubai.”

The statement sounds as if the passengers and crew are being held aboard the aircraft.

There was apparently no mechanical reason for the diversion.

Why: While en route, the crew reported smoke from the avionics and chose to divert to Bermuda International Airport. Avionics were turned off and the smoke dissipated. The plane was able to land safely with tower clearance and no visible external smoke or fire.

Restarting the avionics systems also restarted the smoke.

After landing, maintenance checked the rear cargo hold for airline-reported smoke. The airline denies there was smoke in the cockpit.
