More fear than harm and a controlled situation on board: following a pressurization problem in the cabin, an Air France Paris-Barcelona flight was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday evening.
The anxiety-provoking video broadcast on social networks masked a completely different and, above all, perfectly controlled reality. On Saturday evening, an Air France flight between Paris and Barcelona was forced to make a U-turn followed by an emergency landing after only seventeen minutes of flight. In the images, we see the passengers quietly waiting for instructions, with oxygen masks deployed.
In application of the emergency descent procedure
Air France reacted on the social network of a cabin pressurization malfunction. “Air France crews are regularly trained to handle this type of situation in accordance with the manufacturer's procedures. In application of the emergency descent procedure, the crew activated the drop of the oxygen masks in the cabin because the automatic release altitude of the masks had not yet been reached,” the press release underlines.

“The plane landed normally at Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 10:12 p.m. (local time) to carry out technical checks. As a result, flight AF1448 as well as return AF1449 were canceled. Customers were taken care of by Air France teams at the airport and will be rerouted to Barcelona as soon as possible. », Adds Air France, which then recalls that the safety of its customers and crews is its absolute imperative.
