Spokesperson: 'All 275 passengers and 17 members of crew are fine'

PARIS, France – An Air France flight en route to Paris from Tokyo was forced to make an emergency landing in eastern Russia on Tuesday, June 2, following engine problems, officials told Agence France-Presse.

“All 275 passengers and 17 members of crew are fine,” said Natalya Tsvetkova, a spokeswoman at the airport in Khabarovsk, some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of Vladivostok.

The Boeing 777 is still on the ground at the airport and a technical team is in the process of inspecting it, she added.

The passengers were kept on board the Tokyo-Paris flight while tests were carried out on the engine and the airline studied ways of getting the travelers to the French capital, Air France said. – Rappler.com
