The windshield cracked in the cockpit of the Russian charter airline Azur Air right during the flight to Phuket. The plane with 334 passengers on board urgently returned to Moscow 3 hours after departure. This was reported by the Shot telegram channel.
According to TC, the Boeing 767-300 of Azur Air took off from Vnukovo late the night before. After about an hour and a half, the board turned around in the sky over the Samara region and flew in the opposite direction — the windshield in the cockpit of the pilots burst at the airliner.
"The crew did not send a distress signal and safely boarded Vnukovo," the airline's press service said.
After 3 hours, the passengers were sent to Thailand on a reserve flight.
