“After taking off from Sheremetyevo to Leipzig, the landing gear malfunction sensors worked on the aircraft.

The crew decided to return to Sheremetyevo.

Now the plane is preparing for an emergency landing," a TASS source in emergency services said.

Currently, the aircraft is running out of fuel at an altitude of about 1800 m. The estimated time of landing at the capital's airport is 5:30.

Specialists from the fire and rescue garrison were sent to Sheremetyevo.

On February 3, a plane flying from Moscow with 55 passengers on board was forced to land in Chelyabinsk due to bad weather conditions at the Magnitogorsk airport, where the board was heading.
