A Swiss International Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration HB-IOL performing flight LX-1726 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Rome Fiumicino (Italy) with 92 passengers and 8 crew, was in the initial climb out of Zurich’s runway 28 when the crew stopped the climb at about 6500 feet reporting smoke in the cabin and decided to return to Zurich. While on approach to runway 14 the crew advised the smoke did not intensify further and requested emergency services to inspect the aircraft after landing. The aircraft landed safely on runway 14 about 11 minutes after departure. Emergency services did not observe any anomaly, the aircraft taxied to the apron.

A replacement A321-200 registration HB-IOF reached Rome with a delay of 2:15 hours.
