Over the course of a week, three Uzbekistan Airways airliners flying from Russia abroad were forced to change course and land at other airports.
The emergency situations with the planes occurred due to bad weather conditions.
According to information from Uzbek airports on their Telegram channel, three planes decided to head to an alternate airfield in Samarkand due to unstable weather conditions.
An unexpected situation occurred when the liner was flying from St. Petersburg to Termez on December 4.
Due to unstable weather conditions at the airport, the plane landed at an alternate airfield in Samarkand.
On the same day, a plane heading from St. Petersburg to Termez was unable to land at its final destination due to bad weather and also went to Samarkand.
A similar non-standard situation occurred with a flight from Ufa, which was heading to Namangan.
Unfavorable weather conditions forced the crew to decide to change course and land the plane in Tashkent.
None of the passengers were reportedly injured. The planes' pilots successfully landed despite the change in course.
