Avianca Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Makes Emergency Descent over Atlantic Due to Cabin Pressure Loss

on

On October 31, 2024, Avianca flight AV46, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner registered as N785AV, encountered an in-flight emergency while En route from Bogotá, Colombia, to Madrid, Spain.

The aircraft, carrying an undisclosed number of passengers and crew, experienced a sudden loss of cabin pressure over the Atlantic Ocean, south of the Azores.

At the time of the incident, the aircraft was cruising at FL420 (42,000 feet). Following the detection of the pressure issue, the flight crew initiated an emergency descent to FL100 (10,000 feet) to ensure passenger safety and avoid hypoxia.

The pilots successfully managed the descent, and the flight was subsequently diverted to Ponta Delgada-Nordela Airport (PDL) in the Azores, where it landed without further incident.
