The plane sent the emergency call while flying at an altitude of more than 10,000 metres, as it was flying from the Arctic port city of Murmansk to Moscow. Murmansk is located about 1,500 kilometers north of Moscow.
The agency’s report did not give any details or identify the airline, but S7, Russia’s largest private airline and the country’s second largest overall, operates flights between the two cities.
