An Airblue Airbus A320-200, registration AP-EDA performing flight PA-207 from Islamabad to Karachi (Pakistan), was climbing out of Islamabad’s runway 10R when the crew stopped the climb at about 7000 feet reporting smoke in the cockpit and returned the aircraft to Islamabad for a safe landing on runway 10R about 15 minutes after departure.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Islamabad about 5 hours after landing back.
