Passengers of Air France Boeing travelling from Paris to Shanghai spent three days in Irkutsk after a mechanical issue caused smoke to fill the cabin. On the next day, the passengers were supposed to fly to China on a backup plane, but the second plane couldn't take off due to the failure in the plane's hydraulic system. The passengers were re-settled in hotels. Another reserve plane arrived in Irkutsk on Tuesday night (23:00 GMT+3) and 282 passengers, as well as 18 cabin crew, successfully departed on Wednesday morning.
Air France received bomb threats against two planes on Tuesday, just days after a series of deadly terrorist attacks killed at least 129 people in the French capital.
