An aircraft air supply system for generating pressurized air includes a compressor configured to receive and pressurize a flow of outside air, a turbine operatively coupled to the compressor by a shaft and configured to drive the compressor, a fluid pathway fluidly connecting the compressor to an environmental control system pack, an outflow pathway fluidly connecting a cabin of the aircraft to the turbine, a surge relief pathway fluidly connecting the compressor to the outflow pathway and the turbine, and a surge relief valve disposed within the surge relief pathway. In a first operational state, the surge relief valve is open to allow a flow of surge relief air to flow from the compressor to the outflow pathway via the surge relief pathway, the surge relief air further flowing through the turbine.
