RYANAIR flight FR4632 travelling from Valencia to Bergamo in northern Italy is thought to have had to make an emergency landing in Genoa this week when the pressure system failed.
Ryanair issued a press release confirming the incident and apologising “sincerely to all our passengers for any inconvenience caused”.
The low-cost airline’s statement said that its pilot had reacted “as soon as a warning light came on to indicate a possible problem with cabine pressure. In line with standard operating procedures, oxygen masks were deployed and the pilot began his controlled emergency descent to an altitude where air pressure was not an issue”. Afterwards, the plane “landed without incident at Genoa airport at approximately 09.50 hours”.
The passengers were transferred to Berga moby bus whilst Ryanair’s engineers inspected the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, the statement confirmed.
Italian media confirmed that two women, who had been on board the flight which consisted of 93 passengers in total, had complained of chest pain and were hospitalised.
