An Everjet Airbus A320-200 on behalf of Cobalt, registration CS-TKV performing flight CO-729 from Thessaloniki (Greece) to Larnaca (Cyprus), was climbing out of Thessaloniki when the crew stopped the climb at about FL270 due to the failure of both bleed air systems (engine V2527) and initiated a rapid descent. The crew decided to divert to Athens (Greece) where the aircraft landed safely about 45 minutes later.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Athens about 8 hours after landing.
