The plane quickly turned around the city of Krasnik and flew to Istanbul, from where it had previously flown.
A Turkish Airlines plane, flying on the Istanbul-Moscow route on December 26, while over Poland, made a quick turn and flew in the opposite direction. The reason for this may be the introduction of higher security procedures at Moscow airports and the failure to guarantee a safe landing. This was reported by the Polish portal Money.pl.
Near the town of Krasnik, Lublin Voivodeship, the plane made a quick turn and flew back to Istanbul.
Despite the fact that there is no official communication about the reasons for this step by aircraft pilots, everything indicates that it is related to security procedures at Moscow airports.
Security procedures have been introduced at Moscow airports to ensure the safety of civil flights.
The media draw attention to the fact that the return of the aircraft to the airport of departure in the middle of the flight is a rather atypical turn of events, but it does not exceed the scope of security procedures in the event of failure of the destination airport to ensure a safe landing.
As is known, on December 25, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed in Aktau, Kazakhstan, flying on a Baku-Grozny flight. 38 people died then. There were a total of 67 people on board, mostly Azerbaijani citizens.
The previous day, the media reported that the plane was attacked on approach to Grozny by a missile from the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft system. The Russians barred crews from landing at Russian airfields and jammed electronic war communications.
