Chicago-bound plane returns to Fla. airport
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Passengers reported smelling smoke inside the cabin of the MD-80 aircraft right after it took off around 7:30 a.m. Friday.
The airline says the problem is not related to the inspections of wiring bundles that caused hundreds of MD-80 flight cancelations earlier this week.
Maintenance crews were checking the plane.
There were 145 people on board. No one was injured.
