Suspected rapid decompression and emergency descent, en route Birmingham to Aberdeen on 3 February 2016 as Flight BE 326. According to the following summary from the official AAIB report into the incident:
"The aircraft was climbing to Flight Level (FL) 190 but, at FL 170, the crew heard a loud noise followed by the sound of rushing air and the commander suspected a rapid loss of cabin pressure. He initiated an emergency descent and both crew donned oxygen masks. The aircraft diverted to Manchester Airport, flying at FL 100 with the cabin de-pressurised, and subsequently made an uneventful landing.
No structural or mechanical faults were found, although two components from the pressurisation system were removed and sent to the manufacturer for investigation.
