A Swiss International Airlines Boeing 777-300, registration HB-JNB performing flight LX-7092 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil) with 145 people on board, was enroute at FL330 about 50nm northeast of Palma Mallorca,SP (Spain) when the crew decided to return to Zurich due to problems with the air conditioning. The aircraft descended to FL320 for the return and landed safely on Zurich's runway 14 about 2.5 hours after departure.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Zurich about 7.5 hours after landing back.

The flight, LX-92, expected with 318 passengers on board had been postponed the previous day due to the aircraft not coming out of an A-Check in time and was to be flown as flight LX-7092 on Feb 22nd.

A replacement Boeing 777-300 registration HB-JNJ is currently enroute to Sao Paulo and is estimated to reach the destination with a delay of about 18 hours.
