A passenger reported smoke and extremely strong fumes in the cabin, many passengers experienced irritiations in eyes, noses and throats. Emergency services attended to the aircraft with air sensor monitors and subsequently cleared to disembark.
The aircraft flew to Melbourne,FL on Feb 4th 2025, remained on the ground, returned to Melbourne after departure on Feb 11th and resumed service on Feb 15th 2025.
On Mar 17th 2025 the Canadian TSB reported: "During climb, the In-Charge Flight Attendant notified the flight crew via intercom of a fuel odour in the forward galley. Initial efforts to isolate/determine the source of the odour were inconclusive and decision to return to origin was made. The flight and cabin crew donned supplemental oxygen masks, requested return to KTPA, descent to 10 000 feet and subsequently declared MAYDAY as a precaution. During descent, the flight crew carried out applicable quick reference handbook procedures including REMOVAL OF SMOKE / FUMES which resulted in an increase of cabin pressure altitude in excess of 9000 feet as the flight descended through FL220. Flight crew then expedited descent to 10 000 feet and manually deployed passenger supplemental oxygen. The aircraft subsequently landed at KTPA RWY 19R with aircraft rescue and firefighting on standby and taxied to the gate without further incident."
