A Qantas flight from Adelaide to Canberra has been diverted to Melbourne after a cabin depressurisation.
Qantas says pilots on flight QF706 followed standard procedure when the incident occurred on Tuesday morning, descending to 10,000 feet.
Oxygen masks were deployed but once the plane reached the lower altitude passengers were instructed to remove them and breathe normally.
The plane was given a priority landing at Melbourne Airport and arrived without further incident.
Twitter user Greg Denehy wrote "QF706 to Canberra this morning lost cabin pressure so we put the oxygen masks to good use while diverting to Melbourne.
"Kudos to the professionalism of the @Qantas crew with the safety and wellbeing of passengers clearly the priority. Not how I expect my morning to go though," he tweeted.
