The prosecutor's office took control of the situation with the flight from St. Petersburg to Zanzibar

This was reported by the press service of the North-West Transport Prosecutor's Office.

"The St. Petersburg Transport Prosecutor's Office monitors the observance of the rights of 332 passengers on the fact of a long delay of the St. Petersburg - Zanzibar flight," the department said.

According to preliminary information, the flight was delayed due to a technical malfunction of the Boeing 767 aircraft.
