C-GFCI, an
Air Canada Rouge flight ROU1795, an Airbus A320-214, was climbing through 10,000 ft. ASL when the flight crew identified the cabin was not pressurizing. Followed closely thereafter by an associated ECAM: CAB PR EXCESS CAB ALT.
The climb was arrested at 12,000ft and the flight crew requested and was granted descent to 5,000 feet. ECAM actions were carried out with no effect so the decision was made to return to Punta Cana.
A MAYDAY was declared by the flight crew as a precaution to ensure aircraft rescue and fire fighting was on stand-by upon landing. The flight attendants were briefed and the flight subsequently landed safely, over Maximum Landing Weight (MLW). Maintenance inspected the aircraft and found the outflow valve to be defective. The component was removed and replaced.
