Emergency landing of Tehran to Beijing flight in Kazakhstan
Iranian media have reported that last night a Mahan Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan, due to a technical fault.
So far, no detailed information about this technical fault has been released.
Tasnim News Agency also wrote that after this emergency landing, Mahan Airlines dispatched another Airbus plane to transfer the passengers to Kazakhstan, but due to the strict laws of this country, it was not allowed to land at Almaty airport and returned to Iran.
Although Tasnim stated that the denial of landing for Mahan Airlines’ plane is not related to the sanctions, Mahan Airlines has been unable to fly to most foreign destinations due to extensive European and American sanctions, and its international flights have been greatly limited.
