An Airbus A321 was climbing out of Bangkok (Thailand) International Airport’s runway 01R with 155 passengers on board when the captain stopped the climb. He levelled off at FL090 after the co-pilot reported a lightning strike to the left wingtip.
The flight returned to Bangkok approximately 15 minutes after departure. Nobody was hurt, but the aircraft had considerable damage. The passengers were transferred to another plane to continue their journey two hours after landing.

No cabin pressurization
Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.
A Boeing 737, flying from Paris (France) to Rome (Italy), was climbing at around 4000 feet out of Charles de Gaulle’s runway 27L when the crew noticed that they didn’t have any cabin pressure. They contacted ATC, levelled off at 7000 feet and returned to Paris for a smooth landing 25 minutes later.
The ground crew investigated the problem and the plane was able to depart for Rome approximately 60 minutes after it landed. It arrived in Rome 55 minutes late.
Enjoy!!
