A Vietnam Airlines Airbus A350-900, registration VN-A887 performing flight VN-227 from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) with 137 passengers and 7 crew, was enroute about 40 minutes into the flight when the cabin pressure was lost, the passenger oxygen masks were automatically released, and the crew initiated an emergency descent. The aircraft returned to Hanoi for a safe landing.
A replacement A350-900 registration VN-A888 reached Ho Chi Minh City with a delay of 3:45 hours.
The airline confirmed the aircraft suffered the loss of cabin pressure, the passenger oxygen masks automatically deployed. All passengers disembarked unharmed, a flight attendant however received minor injuries in the encounter.
