An Easyjet Airbus A319-100, registration G-EZBK performing flight
U2-6407 from Newcastle,EN (UK) to Malaga,SP (Spain) with 130 people on board,
was enroute at FL370 about 90nm south of Brest (France) when the crew initiated
an emergency descent levelling off at FL120 about 5 minutes later (average rate
of descent 5000 fpm). The aircraft subsequently turned around and diverted to
Brest, where the aircraft landed safely about 24 minutes after leaving
FL370.
A passenger reported there was a smell of smoke on board, however,
no visible haze or smoke. The crew told the passengers that there had been a
sudden change of cabin pressure prompting the descent and diversion as a
precaution.
The airline reported the aircraft diverted as a precaution
due to a suspected technical issue. A replacement aircraft was dispatched to
take the passengers to Malaga.
A replacement A320-200 registration G-EZTL
positioned to Brest, continued the flight and delivered the passengers to Malaga
with a delay of 4 hours.
The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground
in Brest about 28 hours after landing.
