TWO Russian passenger planes were forced to return to their departure airports because of engine failure after takeoff, according to New York's Newsweek.
The Russian aviation Telegram channel Aviatorshchina reported that a Ural Airlines plane returned to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and that a Boeing 737 from NordStar Airlines had to return to Volgograd following mechanical problems.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine spurred the US and the EU to impose sanctions on Russia's aircraft, two-thirds of which were manufactured by Boeing and Airbus.
The measures, which include banning the maintenance of the aircraft and the supply of new planes, are likely to continue the deterioration of Russia's aviation industry.
Ural Airlines said that an engine failed on its Airbus A321 flying from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to the Russian city of Yekaterinburg at an altitude of 13,000 feet.
The plane circled before returning to its departure airport on one engine and passengers were put on another plane that afternoon.
Footage filmed on board the aircraft was posted by news outlet 360.ru and in it the flight attendants instructed passengers 'there may be several bumps when landing, stay in a safe position until new commands.'
Earlier, a NordStar Airlines Boeing 737 flying to Yekaterinburg returned to Volgograd after it suffered an engine failure at more than 33,000 feet, Aviatorshchina reported.
Airlines said that their planes involved in the incidents were taken out of circulation for technical inspection.
Before the new year, a UTair Airlines Antonov An-24 turboprop aircraft flying from Roshchino in the Leningrad region to Krasnoselkup in the Tyumen region landed successfully on December 30 although it had an engine failure as it approached the runway, the outlet Nashgorod reported.
