An Indian airline plane made an emergency landing in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Preliminarily, it carried more than 200 passengers.

As Russian public pages report, the Boeing-777, flying from Delhi to San Francisco, requested an emergency landing when he was in the sky over the Krasnoyarsk region.

What happened

Preliminarily, it was noted that during the flight one of the engines stopped working. It is known that before departure it was checked by Indian engineers. Subsequently, after the Air India board successfully landed in Krasnoyarsk, another version of the emergency situation was called – a fire detector went off in the cargo compartment of the airliner.

The Boeing was carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members.

Let us recall that in Russia for two days in a row there were accidents with Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger aircraft. On the morning of July 13, Sukhoi Superjet 100, flight Nizhnevartovsk – Mineralnye Vody, made an emergency landing. There were 103 people on board. A day earlier, a plane of the same model crashed in the Moscow region. It was making its first flight after repair – and crashed 20 kilometers after takeoff. There were only three crew members on board – they died.
