Air France A318 performs emergency landing at CDG after pressurization loss
An Air France A318 had to perform an emergency landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) after the aircraft suffered a cabin pressure malfunction.
The Airbus A318-111 with registration F-GUGR was scheduled to operate Flight AF 1448 from Paris to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) on January 3, 2025. The aircraft took off from CDG at approximately 21:00 local time.
However, 45 minutes into the flight, the crew declared an emergency when the aircraft ran into a cabin pressure issue. The crew facilitated oxygen deployment in the cabin as the automatic mask drop altitude had not been reached when the issue occurred.
