The pilot of the aircraft sent out a squawk code 7700, indicating a general emergency, leading to a quick descent and diversion to Gatwick Airport.
Panic ensued on a US Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Portland due to a sudden drop in pressure, impacting passenger safety.
According to Delta Air Lines, an issue that prevented the plane from maintaining pressure above 10,000 feet was resolved before the aircraft went back into service.
Following the emergency landing, the aircraft was met by a fire truck at Gatwick and taxied safely to the gate, although the cause remains unclear.
