A flight of the Volotea company, which operated from Naples, Italy, to Bordeaux, was forced to land at Lyon / Saint-Exupéry airport on Thursday afternoon.
decision was made after several pbadengers began to complain of severe ear pain, say our colleagues at France Bleu.
"We felt turbulence thirty minutes before our landing, we had pain in the eardrums and all pbadengers were holding their heads in. We understood that something was wrong because the plane was coming down too early to land in Bordeaux, "says another pbadenger to France 3.
Symptoms that alerted the crew, which quickly identified the incident. The cabin was being depressurized
The aircraft cabin is still pressurized beyond 3,000 meters. Indeed, it allows to create the atmospheric conditions, especially in terms of pressure, identical to those on the ground. An airplane usually flies between 10 000 and 13 000 m altitude and the pressurization of the cabin makes the flight viable.
End of bus trip
Volotea aircraft, an Airbus A319, finally landed safely in Lyon in the middle of the afternoon. The company mentioned "the activation of a valve discharge that, according to our highest security procedures, forced us to land."
The 148 pbadengers joined Bordeaux in the night from Thursday to Friday after having ended their journey by road, aboard the buses chartered by Volotea.
