A passenger airliner with 228 people on board en route from the Russian east Siberian city of Kemerovo to Bangkok made an emergency landing in Novosibirsk on Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the Tolmachyovo airport said.
"The plane landed at 9:27 local time, everything is normal," the spokesman said.
Crew of the Boeing-757 requested an emergency landing at the Novosibirsk airport Tolmachyovo due to a problem with the landing gear, which failed to retract after the plane took off from Kemerovo at 5:45 a.m. local time.
A spokesman for the Kemerovo Region authorities said earlier on Wednesday that "the crew of the plane informed Moscow [about the incident] and decided to make an emergency landing."
