A flight heading to Portland from Salt Lake had to turn back after the flight experienced a 'pressurization issue,' Delta Airlines confirmed Sunday.According to the flight log, the Boeing 737-900 aircraft took off from Salt Lake City international airport around 8:00 a.m., only to have to turn back when the flight crew detected a problem with the cabin pressure. The plane landed back at Salt Lake City International Airport around 8:40 a.m.
Standard practice dictates that aircraft pressurize between 10,000 and 14,000 feet. When a plane is unable to pressurize, it can lead to a number of complications for both passengers and crew. The most notable issues are the decreasing availability of oxygen and the pressure of the atmosphere on the aircraft mid flight.
