In Russia, the seventh incident involving a Russian airline plane occurred in a week.
In Russia, on January 15, a passenger plane Boeing 737-800 of Yakutia Airlines suffered a tire failure while taking off from Yakutsk to Moscow.
According to The Moscow Times, the seventh incident with a Russian airline plane occurred in Russia within a week.
“On the runway of the Yakut airport, numerous fragments of the pneumatics of the left wheel were found, which collapsed during the take-off run. The pieces damaged the lower panel of the right half-wing, the tail section of the inner flap, and the hydraulic fluid supply tube,” the report says.
It is noted that the landing at Vnukovo airport “passed safely.” The plane was suspended from flights.
In addition, on January 15, two more emergencies occurred in the Russian Federation. At the beginning of the day, a Yamal Airlines plane, heading to Salekhard from Gorno-Altaisk, made an emergency landing in Tolmachevo due to a malfunction.
Towards evening, Ural Airlines twice tried to fly to Sochi from Yekaterinburg on a faulty Airbus A321, but at the last moment the flights were canceled. Both times, when accelerating along the runway, the first engine did not reach takeoff mode and operated at unstable speeds.
