Singapore Airlines’ flight diverts to Azerbaijan
A Singapore Airlines’ flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Azerbaijan after the A380 lost cabin pressure.
The flight with 467 passengers and 27 crew on-board was flying from London to Singapore.
Singapore Air Flight 317 landed at Baku airport at 1:03 am local time, the carrier said in an e-mailed statement.
Another A380 plane is headed to Baku to fly passengers and crew to Singapore, the airline said.
It added: "We are seeking clearance from local authorities to transfer affected customers to a hotel until a replacement aircraft arrives from Singapore.
"Oxygen masks were deployed and the aircraft landed uneventfully at Baku airport at 01:03 (local time)."
There were no injuries.
