One Aeroflot 737-800 Diverts As Another Skids Off Runway

Matthew Klint Posted onJanuary 23, 2019 1 Comment

One day. Two Aeroflot 737-800s. Two unrelated incidents.

First, a problematic passenger onboard an Aeroflot flight from Surgut (SGC) to Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) forced a diversion. Surgut is a city on the Ob River in Western Siberia, about 1,800 miles from Moscow. The 737-800, flight diverted to Khanty-Mansiysk Airport (HMA) after a passenger onboard demanded a diversion of his own…to Afghanistan.

The man was deemed either intoxicated or mentally unstable and is currently in the custody of law enforcement. No word on whether he’s been transferred to a gulag.

Meanwhile, another 737-800 slid off the runway at Moscow Sheremetyevo thanks in part to icy conditions on the ground. The flight originated in Astana, Kazakhstan and was evacuated by emergency personnel after the rough landing. All 78 passengers and seven crew members were unharmed. The rough landing caused damage to one of SVO’s runways, but crews repaired the runway, which was re-openend within 30 minutes.

CONCLUSION

Russia is such a geographically large nation, well-connected by air service, that I am surprised there are no more incidents like this. One decade ago I did a “mileage run” to Moscow back when United still served it and remember how icy the runway was in Moscow in January. Thankfully, my United 777 did not run into a similar fate as the Aeroflot 737-800…

    Matthew, I would not make comments about the gulag so lightly. It was a terrible system of state-administered imprisonment, forced labor, and for over 15 million people, death. This is like making a holocaust joke. I guess you are more sensitive to your Hebraic readers than your Slavic ones!

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
