The New York-Tashkent flight made an emergency landing in Kazan due to an intoxicated passenger.

According to information from the Telegram channel Shot , the incident occurred on a flight of Uzbekistan Airways on January 13. Suhrob U., 26 years old, became aggressive while under the influence of alcohol, ignored warnings, and continued to disrupt order. As a result, he was restrained, and the plane made an emergency landing in Kazan at 06:10 local time.

After landing, the man was removed from the flight and handed over to the police, where a report was filed. The plane continued its journey a few hours later and successfully landed in Tashkent.

Let us remind you that in 2023, a similar incident took place on the New York - Tashkent flight. At that time, due to an intoxicated passenger, the plane was forced to land at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, resulting in a loss of $22,244 for Uzbekistan Airways .
