A Swiss flight bound for New York had to return to Zurich shortly after takeoff due to cabin pressure irregularities.
The Airbus A330-343, carrying 205 passengers, was forced to turn back after pilots detected the issue and initiated emergency protocols, including lowering the altitude and deploying oxygen masks.
This standard procedure ensured passenger safety.
The aircraft, unable to dump fuel, landed with a higher weight, prompting the presence of emergency vehicles at Zurich Airport to manage potential brake overheating.
Despite the scare, the flight landed safely without further incidents.
