Passenger plane with reduced cabin pressure made an emergency landing at Istanbul airport

Ata Airlines passenger plane I3-6620 Istanbul-Tehran took off from Istanbul Airport at 16:15. A pressure failure occurred in the aircraft cabin shortly after takeoff. The captain pilot of the plane, whose cabin pressure dropped, contacted the Istanbul Airport Air Traffic Control Tower and requested an emergency landing permit.

Returning from Bolu, the plane from Tehran landed at Istanbul airport at 5:38 p.m. without any problem. Food and drinks were served to the passengers brought to the terminal. On the plane, the technical investigation continues. It was learned that if the fault could not be solved, the flight would be carried out with another company plane.

THE PASSENGERS COUNTED THE MOMENTS

Passengers on the plane said in a statement to the press that they had moments of fear on the plane due to the malfunction. Sina Amiri, one of the passengers, said, “The captain announced that everything is normal. Half an hour later we started to head back. Everyone was very scared,” while Sanaz Erfanian said: “It was obvious there was a technical problem, but that’s how we started. We came back half an hour later. There were also small children and we were very scared.” (DHA)
