Explained in plain English

What happens in an emergency?

When an unexpected event like a sudden loss of cabin pressure occurs, pilots follow strict emergency procedures. This includes descending to a safer altitude where breathing is easier and preparing for an emergency landing. The Ryanair crew's quick actions to return to Thessaloniki and the assistance from fellow passengers were crucial in ensuring a safe outcome despite the alarming incident.
