TOULOUSE, 21 nov 2007 (AFP)

Six personnes ont été hospitalisées, dont deux pour des "blessures sérieuses", à la suite d'un problème de dépressurisation mercredi lors d'un vol d'essai près de Toulouse (sud-ouest de la France) d'un Airbus A330 destiné à la compagnie Air Mauritius, a-t-on appris des pompiers.

Selon Airbus, deux personnes souffrent de traumatismes divers et quatre autres font l'objet de "vérifications" pour d'éventuels problèmes liés à la dépressurisation.

Dix personnes se trouvaient à bord de l'appareil.

Les six blessés ont été dirigées vers l'hôpital de Purpan (ouest de Toulouse), ont indiqué les pompiers en précisant qu'ils souffraient de tassement de vertèbres et de problèmes aux tympans.

"A la suite d'une brusque dépressurisation, le pilote de l'appareil a appliqué les procédures en effectuant une descente rapide. Les personnes à bord qui, lors d'essais, sont debout ou déambulent dans l'avion ont alors été victimes de chutes", a-t-on expliqué à Airbus.

Selon Airbus, l'appareil a effectué un atterrissage normal dans l'aire réservée à l'avionneur sur l'aéroport de Toulouse-Blagnac.

Six people were injured during a test flight Wednesday of an Airbus A330 that suddenly lost cabin pressure, the company said.

Two of the injured were in serious condition and hospitalized overnight, according to rescue workers at the scene in the southwest city of Toulouse, where Airbus is headquartered.

A total of 10 people were on the aircraft, three of them in the cockpit, when the depressurization incident occurred, an Airbus press officer said.

"The seven others were moving between the cockpit and the cabin when a sudden and clearly strong depressurization occurred," the officer said, asking not to be named. "Those standing couldn't reach the masks and fell unconscious because of a lack of oxygen."

The plane, a wide-bodied aircraft which was being tested ahead of delivery to Air Mauritius, made a rapid descent to an altitude that allowed for normal breathing then landed without incident at the Toulouse airport, Airbus said.


Airbus was opening an investigation to determine the cause of the pressure loss.

It was the second incident concerning an Airbus test flight in seven days. Last Thursday, 10 people were injured when an Airbus 340-600 hit a wall during tests of the four-engine plane on the ground.

One person on the ground was among the injured on the aircraft, which was scheduled for delivery to Etihad Airways, the Emirates' national carrier. The plane itself was badly damaged.

The French minister in charge of the environment, energy and transport, Jean-Louis Borloo, requested an investigation into the cause of that accident.

Cavoli sembra lo stesso periodo di sfiga atraversato da GJ l'ultimo aprile!!!

Mi spiace seriamente perchè amo tutto ciò che fa Airbus, escluso l'A380 che è secondo dopo il MITICONE B747
