According to the managing director of Fintraffic’s air traffic control, a passenger plane could not even do such a maneuver. According to him, Flightradar24 has had errors in flight routes.
Flight information service Followers of Flightradar24 were puzzled on Wednesday evening by the strange flight path of the Russian plane shown by the service. According to the service, the Ural Airlines passenger plane on its way from Moscow to Kaliningrad would have made very sharp Z-shaped turns south of Loviisa.
The plane flew in the Gulf of Finland at the same time as the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi was with a surprise visit to Helsinki. Russia has used the letter Z as a symbol of the Russian war of aggression.
Traffic management company CEO of Fintraffic air traffic control Raine Luojus according to this, it is impossible that the plane would have actually performed such a maneuver. He himself still works in air traffic control.
“In my opinion, there would be no reasonable explanation for such a thing. You can’t do that with a passenger plane,” says Luojus.
In addition, Finnish air traffic control monitors the planes flying in that area. According to Luojus, such a strange bend in the flight path would have been detected, but Finnish air traffic control has not had any information about it.
According to Luojus, Flightradar24 has had errors in flight routes.
