SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines flight bound for Paris was forced to turn back to Changi Airport on Monday (Nov 19) due to a loss of cabin pressure.

 

Flight SQ336 departed from Singapore and was originally meant to arrive in the French capital at 7.15am, Paris time (2.15pm, Singapore time).

 

The plane had to turn back "shortly after departure" and landed back at Changi Airport around 2.30am, according to a Singapore Airlines spokesperson.

 

After a change of aircraft, the flight took off again at 6am and is expected to land in Paris at 12.17pm (Paris time) - about five hours later than it was originally scheduled to arrive.

 

None of the passengers or crew members were injured, said the spokesperson.

 

A photo circulating on social media appeared to show that oxygen masks had been deployed on the flight.
