SIA passengers stranded in Baku arrive in S'pore
A REPLACEMENT flight carrying the 467 passengers who were diverted to Azerbaijan on Monday after a Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane lost cabin pressure landed at Changi Airport around 3.40pm yesterday.
SQ317, which had been bound for Singapore from London, was forced to make an emergency landing in Baku, Azerbaijan early Monday morning. SIA sent another plane to Baku for the affected passengers after getting the necessary overflight approvals.
According to airline spokesman Nicholas Ionides, a door on the main deck of the Airbus A380 appeared to have suffered a leak, which caused the cabin depressurisation.
