An Aer Lingus UK Airbus A330-300, registration G-EILA performing flight EG-93H from Orlando,FL (USA) to Manchester,EN (UK) with 240 passengers and 10 crew, was climbing out of Orlando about 35nm north of Daytona Beach,FL (USA) when the crew declared Mayday reporting smoke in the cockpit. The crew accepted ATC's offer to divert to Daytona Beach. On final approach the crew reported the smoke was dissipating and downgraded the Mayday to PAN PAN. The crew initiated a go around due to being unstable and positioned for another approach to runway 07L. The aircraft landed safely on runway 07L about 28 minutes after stopping the climb.
The aircraft is still on the ground about 14 hours after landing.
