MOSCOW - A Boeing-737 passenger jet with 64 people onboard made an emergency landing in Russia's southern city of Rostov-on-Don on Thursday morning, according to local media reports.
Citing a spokeswoman from Russia's Donavia Airlines based in Rostov-on-Don, RIA Novosti said none of the people onboard, 58 passengers and six crew members, were injured during the emergency landing.
"The plane took off from Rostov Airport for Moscow at 6:30 am Moscow time (0230 GMT) but later made an emergency landing because of the asymmetric flaps retraction," the spokeswoman was quoted as saying.
After the landing, passengers flew to Moscow on another company's aircraft, she added.
