No other crew member or passenger was injured. The flight crew remained conscious and did not experience asphyxia or frostbite. Owing to the insulation design of the Airbus A319, the temperature did not drop immediately for the passengers, despite the cockpit's exposure to the outside environment, saving them from frostbite. One of the flight attendants on the aircraft, Zhou Yanwen ( Chinese: 周彦雯), also suffered a wrist injury and received treatment. He suffered facial abrasions, a minor right eye injury and a sprained wrist. ĭespite wearing a seatbelt, first officer Xu was partially sucked out of the aircraft. As a result, the plane took a longer distance to come to a stop and the tires burst. Because the flight was within a mountainous region, the pilots were unable to descend to the required 8,000 ft (2,400 m) to compensate for the loss of cabin pressure.Ībout 35 minutes later, the jetliner made an emergency landing at 7:42 CST (23:42 UTC) at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. The co-pilot however, was able to use the transponder to squawk 7700, alerting Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport control about their situation. As a result of the sudden decompression, the flight control unit was damaged, and the loud external noise made spoken communications impossible. Approximately 40 minutes after departure while over Xiaojin County, Sichuan at the altitude of 9 km (30,000 ft 9,000 m), the right front segment of the windshield separated from the aircraft followed by an uncontrolled decompression. On, Flight 8633 took off from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at 6:25 CST (22:25 UTC). Before Liu joined Sichuan Airlines in 2006, he worked as a flight instructor for ten years in Sichuan's Second Aviation College of People's Liberation Army Air Force. The pilots were: pilot-in-command Liu Chuanjian ( Chinese: 刘传健), second-in-command Liang Peng ( Chinese: 梁鹏), and the first officer Xu Ruichen ( Chinese: 徐瑞辰).
In addition to the 3 pilots, the jetliner also carried 6 cabin crew and 119 passengers. As of, the aircraft had recorded more than 19,900 flight hours and 12,920 cycles before the incident. It was powered by two IAE V2524-A5 engines. It first flew on 11 July 2011 following roll-out from Airbus Tianjin final assembly line, and was delivered to Sichuan Airlines on the 26th of the same month.
