The TUI plane landed safely back at Manchester Airport just two hours after it took off en route to Greece, after a report found passengers risk of a deadly condition was growing

A TUI Boeing 737 carrying 187 passengers faced a 'serious incident' shortly after takeoff from Manchester, when two vital pressurisation systems were mistakenly left off, exposing passengers and crew to the risk of hypoxia. The plane ultimately landed safely after burning fuel, but a report highlighted procedural errors, fatigue concerns and cognitive risks during the altitude crisis.
