Narrative:
A Flair Airlines Boeing 737-800 was conducting flight FLE2615 from Cancun Intl (MMUN), Mexico to Toronto/Lester B. Pearson Intl. (CYYZ), ON. Approximately 4 minutes after level off at FL370, the LH PACK annunciator illuminated on EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System).
The flight crew actioned the corresponding QRH action items and while performing required action, the RH PACK also illuminated. Shortly thereafter the flight crew received a CABIN ALTITUDE Warning light and associated horn.
The flight crew immediately donned oxygen mask and attempted to contact Houston Center for descent clearance. The flight crew was unable to contact ATC. They initiated an emergency descent, squawk 7700 on the transponder and cabin/passengers' masks also deployed. During the emergency descent, the flight crew was able to reach Houston Center, received clearance to 10000 feet and decided to divert to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl. (KFLL), FL. There were no injuries.
