A Helvetic Embraer ERJ-190 on behalf of Swiss, registration HB-JVN performing flight LX-1629 from Milan Malpensa (Italy) to Zurich (Switzerland), was climbing out of Malpensa’s runway 35R when the crew stopped the climb at about FL080 reporting smoke in the cabin. The aircraft returned to Malpensa for a safe landing on runway 35L about 12 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 4.5 hours, then positioned to Zurich as flight 2L-9529 and remained on the ground in Zurich for another 39 hours before returning to service.
