A Ural Airlines stewardess on Monday fell out of an aircraft onto the runway at an airport in Dubai after a catering truck smashed into the plane.
The woman was rushed to the hospital where she underwent an operation. She is currently in a stable condition, an airline spokesman told Interfax.
The spokesman for the airline said the damage to the Airbus A321 was "significant" and that passengers were being transferred to a reserve aircraft.
The flight from Dubai to Perm has been delayed by nearly 12 hours. It was originally scheduled for takeoff at 5:55 a.m. local time.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
