Narrative:
Discover Airlines flight OCN77, an Airbus A330-343, had just departed Calgary International Airport (CYYC), AB, when the flight crew observed a smell similar to diesel in the cockpit. After confirming with the cabin crew that the smell existed throughout the cabin, the flight crew elected to return to Calgary.
A Pan Pan was initiated by ATC. The flight crew donned their oxygen masks, and the aircraft made an uneventful overweight landing in CYYC. Upon landing the brakes were inspected by ARFF and then the aircraft taxied back to the gate under its own power.
