Omsk to Moscow flight postponed for an entire day.
On September 8, a significant delay occurred at Omsk-Central Airport named after D.M. Karbyshev, causing disruption to the travel plans of 195 passengers onboard the Ural Airlines flight to Moscow.
The initial departure time for the flight was 6:30 AM on September 8, but due to a technical malfunction and the late arrival of the aircraft from Moscow, the departure was postponed to the evening on September 8. The flight was eventually rescheduled to depart on September 9, but was delayed again from its morning departure to an evening departure.
The West Siberian Transport Prosecutor's Office announced that the Ural Airlines flight delay was not a result of any issues with the passengers or their luggage, the airport infrastructure, or any factors other than technical issues and the late arrival of the aircraft.
The affected flight was Ural Airlines to Moscow, and the wait for the passengers stretched to nearly 28 hours. The total delay for the flight was over a day, with the departure being further postponed to 10:30 AM on September 9.
The airport's online board displayed information about the Ural Airlines flight delay, and the departure was postponed multiple times. The aircraft involved in the incident at Omsk Airport was a Sukhoi Superjet 100.
The Ural Airlines flight delay was not a one-time occurrence but caused inconvenience to the passengers travelling on September 8 and 9. The airport authorities and Ural Airlines are yet to issue a statement regarding the compensation and assistance provided to the affected passengers.
