BREAKING-Antonov AN-124 Suffers Runway Excursion Following Emergency Landing

An engine failure has caused a Antonov AN-124 to make an emergency landing at Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo Airport (OVB) in Central Russia.

The Antonov An-124-100 freighter, registered as RA-82042, took off from OVB on its way to Wien-Schwechat International Airport (VIE) carrying a total of 14 people.

During take-off a failure was reported on the number 2 engine. This prompted the crew to initiate emergency protocol and conduct a go around followed by an immediate landing.

 

It is reported that the cowling from the no.2 engine was found in a nearby field.

Inspectors from the Investigative Committee of Russia have been sent to carry out a preliminary investigation and establish the circumstances of the incident.
