Deutsche Lufthansa AG said an Airbus SAS plane carrying 66 passengers returned to Tbilisi, Georgia, today after instruments indicated a drop in cabin pressure.

The single-aisle A319 aircraft, which was headed for Munich, landed safely after 45 minutes in the air, spokesman Thomas Jachnow said in a phone interview. Oxygen masks weren’t released, though the jet had reached cruising altitude, he said.
