An airplane ‘Fokker-100’ of
‘Aero Mongolia’ which took-off with passengers from Ulaanbaatar
to Khovd could not continue its flight and had to return to Ulaanbaatar in an unplanned landing. Oxygen masks dropped down throughout
the passengers’ seating area. After the airplane landed, the Civil Aviation Authority
and Department of Security of Flight and Technique conducted an inspection and
made a conclusion that because an outgoing valve of the altimeter system was
frozen and was not closed, the oxygen masks dropped. Freezing was caused because
the airplane was not kept in a warm airplane hanger. The company does not have
any warm garages to keep their airplanes in. Company officials said that the
airplane is now under normal operation and is ready to perform flights again. (Ardiin Erkh)- supplied by MonInfo
