Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET640, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Addis Ababa, made an emergency descent and landing in Mumbai early on June 28, 2025. Over the Arabian Sea at 33,000 ft, the cabin suffered depressurisation, prompting pilots to swiftly descend. The aircraft landed safely at 1:42 AM at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Medical teams attended seven passengers with decompression symptoms; one required hospitalisation, while the others were treated on-site. Such pressurisation failures are extremely rare, but pose serious risks. This incident echoes another recent mid‑air event on an Air India flight from London, raising scrutiny of cabin‑pressure systems and emergency protocols in commercial aviation.
