An investigation found that a TUI plane with 193 on board failed to pressurise after crew members overlooked a switch that had been left off by maintenance workers. This crucial oversight forced pilots to abort the flight, highlighting the dangers caused by both crew members and maintenance staff, and the potential for hypoxia, which can lead to serious health risks.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch determined that the Boeing 737-8K5 took off without proper pressurisation due to a significant error: the pilots had missed that air bleed system switches were off. This incident raised serious questions about oversight in aviation safety, as the cabin altitude warning sign was active for 43 minutes, indicating critical trouble.
