Factual narrative
On July 23, 2010, a Airone Boeing 737-400, registration EI-CWW, conducted an emergency descent after experiencing a decompression. The flight continued on to its destination at 10,000 feet. There were no injuries to the 6 crew members onboard and the airplane received no damaged. The repositioning flight was enroute from Pescara - Abruzzo International Airport (LIBP), Pescara, Italy, to Milan - Linate Airport (LIML), Milan, Italy.The investigation is being conducted by the Italian Agenzia nazionale per la sicurezza del volo (ANSV). The NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative to assist the investigation under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 as the State of Manufacture and Design of the airplane.
