An Airbus A330-300 operated by Air Canada, was conducting flight AC490 from Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), ON to Montreal - Trudeau International Airport (CYUL), QC.
While climbing at approximately 11 000 feet, the cabin Service Director reported a burning electrical smell inside the cabin. The flight crew subsequently declared a Mayday with Air Traffic Control (ATC) and elected to return to CYYZ. Flight AC490 landed on runway 23 where it was met by the Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicles. AC490 taxied back to the gate under its own power without further incident.
The maintenance department conducted the required inspection and identified the In Seat Power Supply (ISPS) located under row 38D emitting an odor as described by the cabin crew. The failure of the unit has been confirmed.
