Plane makes emergency landing after leaving Cancun International

Monterrey, Q.R. — A Viva Aerobus flight from Cancun to Ciudad Juarez made an  emergency landing in Monterrey. Flight 2220 was forced to make the emergency landing due to cabin depressurization during the flight.

The airline confirmed the plane landed at the Monterrey International Airport at 3:10 p.m. “due to cabin depressurization.” The plane was flying from Cancun to Ciudad Juarez and was over the Gulf of Mexico when it began to experience problems.

According to Viva Aerobus, the depressurization, although not serious, forced the crew to activate emergency protocol.

The plane landed at Monterrey International Airport where another aircraft was made available to transport the passengers to their original destination. The new flight departed the airport at 4:10 p.m., the airline added.

“The affected aircraft will undergo a thorough review to determine the cause of the problem,” Viva Aerobus said in a statement. The company reiterated its commitment to the safety and well-being of its passengers.
