A Skywest Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of United, registration N975SW performing flight OO-5530/UA-5530 from Winnipeg,MB (Canada) to Denver,CO (USA) with 50 people on board, had just become airborne after takeoff from Winnipeg's runway 31 when the crew reported smoke in the cabin, levelled off at 3000 feet and returned to Winnipeg for a safe landing on runway 31 about 10 minutes after departure.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance found no fault and suspected that de-icing fluid from the pre-departure application had entered the environmental system of the aircraft and caused the smoke. The aircraft was returned to service, departed again but needed to return a second time for the same reason.

The aircraft departed again after about 5 hours on the ground but stopped the climb again at 3000 feet due to smoke in the cabin and returned to Toronto for a safe landing a second time.
