The aircraft, flying from
Frankfurt to
Novosibirsk, was prohibited from landing at
Tolmachevo Airport. The only accessible alternate airfield that had customs and permission to fly the Tu-204 was
Omsk. The flight to Omsk took place in a strong headwind. When approaching Omsk, the aircraft ran out of fuel and both engines flamed out. The crew managed to land the aircraft on the runway and braking was performed manually as the thrust reversers failed to deploy. The aircraft overshot the runway and struck several lights in the process. There were no injuries. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but was repaired and returned to service. That same aircraft would later crash while attempting to land at
Domodedovo International Airport,
Moscow,
Russia, in heavy fog on 22 March 2010 operating as
Aviastar-TU Flight 1906. == See also ==
