A passenger plane operated by Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) was forced to return to St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport on Monday while en route to Baku.
The Airbus A320 aircraft, performing flight J2-020, experienced a technical problem with its landing gear, prompting the captain to decide on an emergency return to ensure flight safety.
According to AZAL, the crew followed all standard safety procedures, including fuel reduction before landing.
Emergency and rescue services at Pulkovo Airport were placed on high alert in accordance with established protocols.
The aircraft successfully landed at 04:43 Baku time, slightly veering off the runway upon touchdown.
All 155 passengers were safely evacuated without injuries.
