Heathrow Flight Diverts to Russia After Mid-Air Emergency

A passenger flight that left Heathrow Airport was forced to divert and land in Russia after experiencing an in-flight emergency.

The aircraft, operated by Air China, was carrying 311 people at the time of the incident.

The Boeing 777 was traveling on a scheduled route to Beijing when the crew reported a technical issue. As a precaution, the pilots requested an unscheduled landing in Siberia.

The aircraft touched down safely, and no injuries were reported among passengers or crew.

Local airport teams provided assistance, and travelers were given temporary accommodation while another plane was arranged to continue the journey.

Air China has not released further details on the technical fault but confirmed that the safety of everyone onboard was maintained.

Diversions of this kind are rare but can occur when flight crews need to act quickly to protect passengers.

Aviation experts note that long-haul aircraft often plan alternative airports along their routes for such situations.

The incident caused some delays, but replacement arrangements were put in place to ensure passengers could complete their trip to China.
