A HiSky Europe Airbus A320-200, registration YR-SUN performing flight H4-8711 from Bucharest Otopeni (Romania) to Hurghada (Egypt) with 180 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing through about FL250 out of Bucharest when the crew initiated a rapid descent to 10,000 feet and decided to return to Bucharest due to cabin pressure indications. The aircraft entered a hold to burn off fuel and landed safely on Bucharest's runway 08R about 2.5 hours after departure.
According to information The Aviation Herald received, a faulty sensor was identified.
The aircraft departed again the following morning and reached Hurghada with a delay of about 12 hours.
