A Swiss International Airlines Bombardier C-Series CS-300, registration HB-JCU performing flight
LX-1794 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Malta (Malta) with 89 people on board, was climbing out of Zurich's runway 32 when the crew stopped the climb at FL080 due to disagreeing indications related to the air data system. The crew decided to return to Zurich for a safe landing on runway 28 about 35 minutes after departure.
The airline reported it was the same problem again, that had occurred the previous day on another aircraft, see Incident: Swiss BCS3 at Zurich on May 9th 2026, fault in air data system. The faulty sensor was replaced. It was pure coincidence that the two aircraft suffered the same issue.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Zurich about 45 hours after landing back.
