This technical problem can be very serious, as pressurization allows passengers to travel at high altitude without physiological damage linked to the drop in atmospheric pressure.
“Air France crews are regularly trained to manage this type of situation in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures”indicated the company on its X account. The flight was finally canceled and no passengers were injured. The latter were accompanied to another flight to reach Barcelona.
