Tengrinews.kz - We received information that a problem occurred with one of the planes at Aktau airport. The press service of the Ministry of Transport commented on the incident.
It turned out that the problem occurred with the plane flying to Aktau from Baku (Azerbaijan). There were no passengers on board.
"The landing was in normal mode. After landing, the aircraft had a problem with the nose landing gear (route 'Baku-Aktau')," the department reported.
At Aktau Airport, airfield and ground services carried out work to tow the aircraft from the runway.
The airport is open and operating in normal mode, the ministry added.
According to Tengrinews.kz, the aircraft is a private Gulfstream jet.
Recall, on December 25, a passenger plane of Azerbaijan Airlines, flight AHY8243, crashed near Aktau.
The plane took off at 08:49 A.M. Astana time from Baku airport, 11 minutes earlier than scheduled. Due to thick fog in Grozny, the plane was first rerouted to Makhachkala, and then to Aktau. Flying over the Caspian Sea, the crew gave the signal "emergency" (squawk 7700). The pilots requested an emergency landing, and the airport was preparing to accept the aircraft, but at 11:30 A.M. the plane crashed 3 kilometers from the airport.
