“Tomorrow the captain will go to work,” TASS quoted the director general of Ural Airlines Sergey Skuratov.
On August 15, an Ural Airlines Airbus A321 aircraft made an emergency landing a few kilometers from Zhukovsky Airport in the Moscow Region. The aircraft was controlled by commander Damir Yusupov and co-pilot Georgy Murzin.
On board the plane, flying from Moscow to Simferopol, there were more than 230 people, including more than 40 children.
A preliminary reason for the forced landing was the entry of birds into both engines of the liner and their failure.
As a result, the pilots planted the liner on a cornfield without landing gear. According to the crew commander, this was done for security reasons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded pilots the titles of Heroes of Russia, and awarded the rest of the team with orders of Courage.
