Because of the dense smog in the airport of Stavropol was unable to land a passenger airliner.

Information about the incident became known the day before, while, according to the editors of the information portal Avia.pro, the Airbus A320 made 13 flights around the Stavropol air harbor, and was ultimately forced to fly back to Moscow.

The information was not reported on the number of people on board the passenger airliner; however, it became known later that the flight was completed under more favorable conditions, although the actual delay was several hours, which naturally did not cause satisfaction among dozens of passengers.
