Ryanair in second emergency decent over Swiss Alps in as many months

An incident on Wednesday where a Ryanair flight was forced to make an emergency descent over the Swiss Alps was the second such incident involving the company in as many months.

In both cases, the flights had departed from Milan’s Bergamo airport in Italy and were flying north over the Alps to their destinations.

In each incident the crews deployed the oxygen masks and made emergency descents from over 30,000ft (9,100m).
