The UTA-743 flight operated by UTair on the Moscow–Ganja route was diverted to an alternate airport — Heydar Aliyev International Airport — due to adverse weather conditions at the destination, specifically fog, following a decision by the aircraft commander.
The Boeing 737 aircraft safely landed at Heydar Aliyev International Airport at 11:05 local time.
Passenger and flight safety were ensured as a top priority. A decision regarding the continuation of the flight will be made by UTair depending on weather conditions.
