“Thanks to the coordinated work of the Koltsovo airport and special services, it took less than an hour to establish an identity and detain the false miner,” Interfax reports.
As noted, the man is a citizen of Russia, born in 1982.
According to the source, the man was drunk, and information about the explosive device on board the aircraft was not confirmed.
According to the press service of the airline, an anonymous call was received about the mining of an aircraft preparing for a flight on the route Yekaterinburg - Surgut. Passengers were evacuated.
TASS reports that the plane, delayed due to a mining call, has now flown from Yekaterinburg to Surgut.
In mid-September, the plane flying the Kazan – Simferopol flight sat down normally at the arrival airport after reporting an explosive device allegedly planted on board.
