The plane, which skidded off the runway at Saransk airport a day earlier, was towed to the parking lot, Rosaviatsiya press secretary Artem Korenyako said on the Telegram channel.
At 9:20 Moscow time, Saransk Airport is open to receive and release aircraft.
— Yesterday’s deployment has been classified as a serious aviation incident. Its investigation is being carried out by the commission of the Volga Interregional Territorial Administration (MTU) of the FAVT, the report says.
Tatiana Tarasova, honored figure skating coach of the USSR, previously told that she and the rest of the passengers had to spend 35 minutes on the plane after arriving in Saransk, because the plane left the runway and found himself in a snowdrift. There were 87 passengers on board, including Tarasova, coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya and world and European pairs skating champion Alexei Tikhonov.
From February 6 to 9, the Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships will take place in Saransk.
