MOSCOW, March 15 (RIA Novosti) - A passenger jet has made an emergency landing at a Moscow airport, an emergency service official said Thursday.
The twin-engine Tu-204 aircraft, which is capable of carrying 210 people but only had 46 on board, was en route to the Far East city of Khabarovsk Thursday evening when it had to return to Domodedovo Airport after an airborne equipment failure, according to preliminary information.
"Nobody was injured during the emergency landing," said Viktor Beltsov, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
He said experts were checking the technical condition of the airliner. "Presumably, its engines were in order, and its equipment issued a false failure signal," Beltsov said.
