The plane had 196 passengers on board, and no one was injured, according to SAS.

Because of the pressure drop the plane, for safety reasons had to descend from a height of 10.500 meters to about 4,500 meters in a few minutes.

– It is a normal safety procedure when we experience decompression in the cabin, Press Officer in SAS, Tonje Sund, says.

The plane had to land at the n Goose Airport in eastern Canada. According to Sund the controlled landing was perfectly normal. Technicians will examine the plane to find out what was the cause of the pressure drop.

– This is something that rarely happens, but we have clear procedures and processes to ensure the safety of our passengers, according to Sund.
