Final Report Airbus A380, Registration 9V-SKE Diversion To Baku, Azerbaijan 5 January 2014
On 5 January 2014, an Airbus A380-800 en route to Singapore at night made an emergency descent and diversion to Baku after a loss of cabin pressure without further event. The Investigation attributed the pressure loss to a fatigue crack in a door which had arisen because of the installation of an inappropriately-designed component at build which had not been detected when this component was replaced with an improved one eighteen months earlier. Safety Issues related to cabin crew use of emergency oxygen and diversions to aerodromes with a fire category less than that normally required were also identified.
