"The flight was carrying 311 passengers and crew members destined to Beijing and was forced to divert to Nizhnevartovsk in Russia's Khanty-Mansi region at 8.17am local time. An eyewitness told Russian media that airport services we're "on high alert for the unexpected guest. It's not every year that such a flight from the UK arrives in Nizhnevartovsk," the witness said. "But they prepared quickly. A suitable boarding ramp was immediately brought to the plane. What happens next is still unknown.""
"Russian news outlet Baza, which has links to the Russia n security services, said, "Airport services were on high alert for the unexpected guest. It's not every year that such a flight from the UK arrives in Nizhnevartovsk. "But they prepared quickly - a suitable boarding ramp was immediately brought to the plane." Baza reported that there was "no panic" and the passengers have been told that as a result of the emergency landing they will have some hardship."
A Boeing airplane on the London–Beijing route made an emergency landing in Nizhnevartovsk, Russia, after one engine reportedly failed. The flight carried 311 passengers and crew and diverted to a reserve airfield in the Khanty-Mansi region at 8.17am local time. Airport services reacted quickly, bringing a boarding ramp and placing staff on high alert. Local reports said there was no panic, but passengers were told to expect hardship. The airline will likely send a reserve aircraft with technicians and parts because local facilities cannot repair such a large airliner. Accommodation and holding-space constraints for the large passenger group remain uncertain.
