An Air China flight from London to Beijing made an emergency landing in Siberia after one of its engines malfunctioned on Monday, Russia’s civil aviation authority confirmed.
The Boeing 777-300, carrying 250 passengers and 15 crew members, diverted to Nizhnevartovsk airport in western Siberia, according to Rosaviatsia, Russia’s state aviation watchdog.
Authorities said the “preliminary cause was a malfunction of one of the engines,” and no injuries were reported among those aboard. Air China arranged for a replacement aircraft to be sent to Nizhnevartovsk later in the day to continue the journey to Beijing.
The emergency landing took place weeks after a Russian S7 Airlines Boeing 737 returned to Novosibirsk airport in Siberia due to a cabin pressure control system issue. That aircraft, built in 2001, had been en route to Sochi before turning back safely. (Inputs from Reuters/HT)
