Oxygen masks were deployed onboard the plane.

A Ryanair flight from Dublin to Madrid on Halloween morning was forced to make a U-turn back to the Irish capital’s airport.

In a statement to JOE, the airline said that flight FR10 returned to Dublin Airport shortly after take-off due to a “pressurisation system issue”.

“In line with standard procedure, the crew deployed oxygen masks, carried out a controlled descent and landed safely in Dublin where passengers disembarked normally,” it added.

The aircraft did not carry out an emergency landing.

“To minimise disruption to passengers, a replacement aircraft was arranged to operate this flight from Dublin to Madrid, which departed at 11:53 local time,” Ryanair also said.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
