A TUI flight with 187 passengers was nearly impacted by a hypoxia incident after a critical warning light was missed by the crew for 43 minutes. Routine maintenance errors led to the incident, which could have compromised passengers' and crew's cognitive functions.
A TUI flight carrying 187 passengers was forced to abort its takeoff after a warning light indicating a potential hypoxia risk was ignored for 43 minutes. The incident occurred during routine maintenance when both engine bleed air systems were inadvertently left off. Upon takeoff, a 'master caution' light was activated due to a fault in the engine air system, but the crew failed to notice it in time.
The aircraft was instructed to hold in a pattern until it burned off enough fuel to land safely. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) concluded that while there was little risk of death, there was a possibility that cognitive performance could have been impacted
