A Hawaiian bound charter Boeing 767 was forced to turn back to Las Vegas after the cockpit reported smoke. The aircraft was carrying 127 passengers on board but managed to safely land back at McCarran International Airport. As reported by CNBC 3 News Las Vegas, Omni Air Express flight 112, flown by a Boeing 767-200 had taken off from the glittering desert city at 9:28 AM when the cockpit reported smoke in the cabin at around 10:00 AM.

The aircraft decided to return back to Las Vegas and was able to land without any problems. It is unclear if the aircraft was met by fire trucks on the runway and passengers evacuated with slides, or if the aircraft taxied to the terminal and disembarked. You would expect it to be the former but all we know is that the fire department at the airport inspected the aircraft and found no signs of fire nor smoke.

Omni Air International is a charter airline that operates routes from private companies or wet-leasing for airlines. It actually originally got its start running narrowbody freight operations for FedEx and DHL but since moved into passenger charter flights.
