Cathay Pacific flight makes emergency landing in Russia after fire alarm activated on board | South China Morning Post
A Cathay Pacific flight carrying 230 passengers and crew from London to Hong Kong was forced to divert to Russia on Wednesday morning after its fire indicator signal was activated.
The incident happened about six hours after the Boejing 777-300ER aircraft departed from London at about 2am on Wednesday.
The flight was diverted to Russia due to the activation of an alert on the flight deck that could have signalled a fire in the aft cargo hold, according to the company.
“At this time, there is no evidence that there was a fire,” Cathay Pacific said in a statement.
It mentioned that the safety of the passengers and crew was top priority.
The flight landed safely at Novosibirsk International Airport in Russia, according to the airline.
“There was no report of injury to the 212 passengers or 18 crew on board,” Cathay Pacific added.
A spokeswoman said the airline was working to fly the passengers and crew to Hong Kong as soon as possible.
