The London plane suddenly sat in the Russian deaf: what happened (video)

It is unclear how many citizens of the United Kingdom were on board the affected aircraft. The Russian authorities have refused to release the passengers of the CA856/CCA856 passengers after emergency landing. The eyewitness said: "The airport services were in full readiness for the arrival of an unexpected guest. Not every year, such a flight from the United Kingdom arrives in Nizhnevartovsk.

" It is unclear why the Russians refused to let the passengers into the airport terminal, and they had to sit in a suffocating salon. A backup board has already been sent for passengers. The departure to Beijing is scheduled for 18:00. And, apparently, passengers will be spent all this time on the plane.

"Most likely, the company will send a reserve aircraft with equipment and spare parts, as local experts will definitely not be able to repair such a large airliner in Nizhnovartovsk," the insider said. While British and other Western airlines no longer fly over Russia because of Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine, Chinese airlines that are operating to and from the UK and from it cross the airspace of Russia.

And even if passengers are released from the aircraft, there is no number of hotels in Nizhnovartovsk to accommodate everyone, and "it will be difficult to place all people in the waiting area of ​​the local airport," the source said. And even if access to local hotels, British passengers will not be able to use their credit cards that do not work in Russia because of sanctions.

The report states that the pilots elected Lizhnovartovsk, because at that time there was the perfect weather, and the runway is long enough for the Boeing 777 to sit down, which made this Russian city "the best option among the surrounding airports for such a large airliner. " In the Ural Transport Prosecutor's Office, the fact of the aircraft was confirmed. We will remind, on August 24, an extraordinary incident with the Russian military aircraft occurred in the capital of Armenia.
