A Sibir Airlines Airbus A319-100, registration VP-BTO performing flight S7-797 from Moscow Domodedovo (Russia) to Munich (Germany), was enroute at FL340 about 70nm northeast of Prague (Czech Republic) when the crew initiated an emergency descent due to the loss of cabin pressure levelling off at FL100 about 6 minutes later (average rate of descent 4000 fpm).
