Concerns over Ryanair cabin pressure failures
Aviation lawyers have expressed their concern after claims Ryanair experienced cabin pressure problems on board a flight for the third time this year.
Legal experts representing passengers hurt when a Ryanair Boeing 737 flight from Milan to East Midlands Airport had to make an emergency descent following rapid decompression in the cabin in April are calling for action.
They claim another plane operated by the airline suffered similar issues on September 7 while flying from Madrid to the Canary Islands. It had to turn back an hour after setting off when depressurisation problems were detected.
The first incident occurred in February when a flight from Milan to Brussels was forced to make an emergency descent following rapid decompression of the aircraft.
There have also been reports of a cabin pressurisation issue on a Monarch 737 flight.
Irwin Mitchell’s specialist aviation law team argues cabin pressurisation is a major concern.
Jim Morris, a former Boeing pilot and Partner in the Irwin Mitchell aviation team, said: "Reports of the latest incident on the flight from Madrid are very concerning and, as well as seeing problems on Ryanair flights, there has also been a further cabin pressurisation issue on a Monarch 737 too.
"To see such a significant number of potentially serious pressurisation problems occur in such a short space of time is clearly a major concern and something that obviously needs to be fully examined."
A spokesman for Ryanair said: "As the joint statement of the Irish and Spanish Transport Ministries issued on 18th Sept confirmed "Ryanair’s safety standards are on a par with the safest airlines in Europe"."
