A Singapore Airlines jetliner has made an emergency landing in Baku due to cabin depressurization.
There were no injuries to the 467 passengers and 27 crew aboard.
The Airbus A380 superjumbo was flying from London to Singapore when it was forced to land early on January 6.
Singapore Airlines said that oxygen masks were deployed in the incident but that the aircraft landed "uneventfully" at Baku airport.
Passengers are awaiting a replacement aircraft.
