The departure of the plane to Moscow was delayed for 11 hours at Istanbul airport.
According to the newspaper Izvestia, the hostage of the situation on July 9 were the passengers of the Red Wings airline. The reason for repeated delays and postponements of the flight was the repair of the landing gear.
At the same time, representatives of the air carrier did not notify tourists about the reasons for force majeure and did not provide them with proper waiting conditions for departure. The food coupons issued in the airport food court did not provide all those in need of water and food.
Turkish airport workers were rude and boorish to the passengers of the delayed flight. So, they came into conflict with one of the Russians in an attempt to take away her wheelchair, even though the woman tried to explain that it was difficult for her to move on crutches.
Earlier it became known that the airliner, flying on the route "Moscow-Mineralnye Vody" made an emergency landing at the airport of Volgograd due to the poor health of a 6-year-old girl.
