“They returned, they rest,” said a company spokeswoman, answering a question about whether the pilot returned home to Yekaterinburg.
Earlier, Yusupov said that "does not feel like a hero." According to him, he was doing what he had to do: saving the plane, passengers, crew.
On August 15, an A321 aircraft of Ural Airlines, after flying from Zhukovsky airport to Simferopol, made an emergency landing in a corn field after engine failure. Presumably, this happened after a collision with birds.
On board the aircraft during the incident were 226 passengers.
