Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., Hong Kong’s biggest carrier, said one of its Boeing Co. 747-400s made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan after pilots detected a cabin-pressurization system fault.
Oxygen masks were deployed on the Amsterdam-Hong Kong flight in line with safety procedures before the diversion, according to a statement posted on the carrier’s website today. A replacement plane will collect the 326 passengers and crew, all of whom were unharmed, the airline said.
