What: Transaero Boeing 767 300 en route from Domodedovo to Hurgada Egypt
Where: Rostov-on-Don
When: Reported on Dec 1 2011
Who: 214 passengers
Why: While en route, engine problems forced an unnamed Transaero Boeing crew to divert to Rostov-on-Don reportedly due to undisclosed engine problems. However, date, plane and preliminary cause have not been verified. It apparently had the same number aboard as Kolavia Flight 348 (214) which burned on the runway before being able to take off for Moscow.

What: Egypt Air Airbus A321-200 en route from Aleppo to Cairo
Where: Aleppo
When: May 6th 2012
Who: 130 passengers
Why: While taking off from Aleppo, the plane had a tail strike, impacting the runway. The pilots diverted to Larnaca where they made a safe landing. No reports were made of personal injury but the plane was damaged. A replacement flight was sent to carry the passengers to Cairo.
In George’s Point of View
I cannot help but wonder why pilots decided to climb to 31000 feet and continue to Lanarca instead of returning to Aleppo. Wouldn’t potential damage from a tail strike possibly affect cabin pressure and put the flight at risk? Wouldn’t standard procedure be to do a fly-by for a visual assessment, and a return to the airport? Or is there an Egypt Air or Airbus repair facility at Lanarca? It just seems like it was a risky choice.
