Rosaviatsiya Investigates the Causes of the Aircraft Collision

Two passenger planes collided at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow on the evening of September 23. An Airbus A330 aircraft of the Chinese airline Hainan Airlines grazed the wing of a Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft of the Rossiya airline. As a result, the Russian aircraft sustained damage to its tail section.

The incident occurred during preparations for flight FV6097 to St. Petersburg. According to preliminary data, there were about 100 passengers on board the Superjet. All of them were evacuated to the airport building, and there were no casualties. Boarding for a reserve aircraft began at 23:08, which then departed for St. Petersburg.

Hainan Airlines confirmed that the incident involved flight HU7986 to Beijing. After a technical inspection, the Airbus was removed from service. 264 passengers were accommodated in hotels until the arrival of a reserve aircraft.

Rosaviatsiya announced the creation of a commission to investigate the circumstances of the collision. The agency emphasized that there was no threat to the life and health of people, and the airport services acted in accordance with the regulations.
