A 767 charter flight from London to Poland filled with passengers headed for Lizhensk to observe the yahrtzeit of the Noam Elimelech made an unscheduled landing in Amsterdam after an aircraft malfunction forced the pilot to issue a Mayday call.
Titan Airways flight AWC941 left Stansted at 9:21 local time, according to Dutch aviation site Up In The Sky (http://bit.ly/2mgZ1jb), bound for Rzeszow, Poland approximately 25 miles from Lizhensk.
But just 20 minutes into the flight, the flight crew received an indication that the passenger cabin was losing pressure.
The pilot of AWC941 issued a Mayday call at 9:43 GMT and oxygen masks dropped as the plane began its descent to make an emergency landing at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
Video posted to social media show passengers sitting in their seats wearing oxygen masks, singing songs of gratitude after their safe landing and the pilot explaining the problem to the passengers who are still surrounded by an overhead jungle of rubber oxygen masks.
