An Air France flight from Paris to Barcelona made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff due to a cabin pressure issue. Oxygen masks deployed 17 minutes into the flight, prompting the pilot to return to Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The Airbus A318 landed safely with no reported injuries, and passengers were rebooked on alternative flights. Both the outbound and return flights were canceled for technical inspections.
Air France emphasized safety as their top priority and confirmed an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the malfunction.
