YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. A-319 plane of the Sibir aitrline
was on a Yerevan-Moscow flight 906 over the territory of Georgia when
the undercarriage fold opened, as a result of which the crew had to
choose a nearby airport for landing. NT correspondent was informed by
spokeswoman for the RA Civil Aviation Department Head Gayane Davtian
that the crew decided to land at Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport instead
of nearby airports of Tbilisi or Minvody since planes can be examined
by Sabina Technic company (Belgium) at Zvatrnots.

The plane made a landing at Zvartnots Airport, after which the
passengers flew to Moscow in another plane of the same airline –
TU-154.
