What: Korean Airlines Airbus A300-600 en route from Tokyo to Guam
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.

    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.
