The black series for Boeing continues to fuel the news columns. According to information from the regional daily Progress, the 254 passengers of Air Canada flight 876, who left Friday evening from Montreal-Trudeau to Lyon Saint-Exupéry, had a very bad experience. They flew almost three hours before turning around, just before reaching the Atlantic, our colleagues specify.
Passengers report that after takeoff, their ears were ringing and they felt like they were going in circles, without gaining altitude. According to the captain, the cause was a pressurization problem. Without panic but unhappy, a little worried, the passengers were taken back to a closed airport before benefiting from a new flight 24 hours later on a flight specially chartered by Air Canada.
Contacted this Saturday by Le Progrès, the company confirmed a pressurization problem forcing, in accordance with procedures, the crew to a priority landing.
