Moscow, July 20: A Tupolev TU-154 with 123 persons
on board made an emergency landing today in Siberia, in the
fourth such incident this week in Russia.
A fault was discovered in the third engine of the
Krasnoyarsk airlines jet shortly after it took off from
Krasnoyarsk airport for Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in the Russian far
east, Itar-Tass news agency reported.
The pilots decided to turn back but thick fog forced them
to touch down at Kemerovo airport, 300 kms to the west of
Krasnoyarsk.
It was at least the fourth incident of its kind since
Tuesday when three planes on internal flights had to make
emergency landings.
