SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight bound for Paris was forced to turn back due to a loss of cabin pressure shortly after departing Changi Airport.
Flight SQ336 departed Singapore at 12.46am on Monday (Nov 19) and was originally scheduled to arrive in the French capital at 7.15am, Paris time (2.15pm, Singapore time).
According to flight tracking website Flightradar24, the plane climbed to 24,000ft about 15 minutes after take-off. It was over Malaysia when it turned back towards Singapore, and the plane descended to 6,000ft.
The plane had to circle in the air for about an hour to dump fuel before it could land, an SIA spokesperson said.
Oxygen masks were deployed "as a precaution" during the flight's descent, he said.
The flight eventually landed back at Changi Airport at around 2.30am.
