Pressurisation problems force American Airlines Boeing 777 to head back to Sao Paulo, Brazil

Share

On 22 January, an American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER (registered N730AN) operated flight AA950 between Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU), Brazil, and New York JFK, NY, United States. About 30 minutes into the flight, the crew decided to head back to Sao Paulo after pressurisation problems in the cabin. 

Due to a technical malfunction, the oxygen masks dropped. As a result of the overweight landing, a number of tires deflated.

After repairs, the aircraft is expected to be ferried to JFK on 26 January.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
