The Volga region prosecutor’s office is examining the reasons behind the return of the SU-1217 Samara–Moscow airliner to Kurumoch Airport. The incident was announced by official channels of the ministry and reported by the aviation authorities. The plane made a safe landing after encountering a technical issue, with 128 passengers and 6 crew members on board. Subsequently, the Kuibyshev region authorities confirmed that the aircraft redirected to Kurumoch and that a routine investigation will determine the exact cause of the malfunction. The Transport Prosecutor’s Office has stated that it will monitor passenger rights during the delay and intervene if necessary to ensure proper treatment of travelers.
Separately, the media reported legal actions involving singer Charlotte who had arrived back in Russia from Armenia.
