The passenger Boeing, arriving from Dubai, touched the Odessa strip with the course 160 at 13:23. The plane turned onto the taxiway and drove through it to the junction with the old runway. After the crew said that they would not be able to move on due to the inconsistency of the taxiway width with the airline’s rules.
The SkyUp aircraft, which landed on the trail and was landed on the same lane, was also forced to stop due to blocked traffic by flydubai.
An airfield tractor arrived at the scene and pushed the SkyUp aircraft onto the runway, and then flydubai.
Due to the accident, about 400 people were expected in the aircraft, and the Ryanair plane was unable to fly to the Polish city of Katowice. The aircraft was delayed over 40 minutes.
The publication notes that this is the first such case at the Odessa airport.
At the same time, it is reported that the claim of the pilot of flydubai is unconfirmed, as the flight operations of Boeing say that taxiing is allowed on a taxiway 16 meters wide. However, the track at the Odessa airport is 17.5 meters, and according to the flydubai pilot, it should reach 18 meters.
