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.
An Air Canada Airbus A320 plane that crash landed in Halifax on Sunday suffered heavy damage after it landed short of the runway and hit power lines and an antenna array, safety officials said. The aircraft also lost its landing gear in the accident.
