Tourists from the Northern capital cannot return home from Phuket. According to passengers, due to the breakdown of the Red Wings aircraft, their flight was delayed indefinitely: “The Boeing 777 broke down in Phuket. Flight WZ3074 did not leave for St. Petersburg. It looks like there will be a postponement for as much as a day,” he told the editorial office TourDom.ru one of the tourists stranded in Thailand.
According to eyewitnesses, passengers have already begun to settle in hotels. Travel agents report mailings from tour operators: “We received a notification about the postponement for a day on May 2 at the same time.” This version is confirmed by the Pulkovo online scoreboard, where the flight from Thailand is now expected not at 00:10, but at 23:55.
In the press service of the Red Wings journalist TourDom.ru They assured that all 415 people who were supposed to fly were checked into hotels: “In order to ensure flight safety, we were forced to delay the flight. It is scheduled for tomorrow at 17:30 local time. The airline apologizes to all passengers for the inconvenience caused.”
But today’s night flight WZ3073 from St. Petersburg to Phuket has not been rescheduled. As the carrier assured, it will be carried out according to the schedule. Given that there are only three Boeing 777s in the Red Wings fleet, it can be assumed that this flight will be performed by the plane that arrived in Moscow tonight. Another one is now on the way from Zhukovsky to Hurghada.
Earlier TourDom.ru He wrote that the flight to Antalya from Yekaterinburg was delayed for 12 hours.
