What: Orenburg Airlines Boeing 737 en route from Perm to Dubai
Where: Iran
When: January 3, 2009
Who: not available
Why: While en route, the crew developed an issue with air traffic control in Dubai which forced an emergency landing in Iran. According to news reports, “The passengers have been given water, and an external air conditioner has been hooked up. In the near future, the aircraft should fly to Dubai.”

The statement sounds as if the passengers and crew are being held aboard the aircraft.

There was apparently no mechanical reason for the diversion.
