A Russian passenger plane caught fire immediately after landing at Antalya airport on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. The 79 passengers were evacuated unharmed, reports the Russian state agency Tass.

The airport fire department extinguished the engine fire on the port side of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 of the Russian airline Azimuth within a very short time. Flight operations at Antalya Airport were resumed after a brief interruption.

The jet, which was developed in Russia, has repeatedly caused technical problems in recent years. Azimuth, based in Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don, has 20 aircraft of this type in operation, according to its own website.
