Ukraine International Emergency Landing

baggage
On January 15, a Ukraine International Airlines flight PS34 encountered problems. Thirteen minutes after taking off, pilots returned the Boeing 737 to Lviv Airport, the airport of departure after smoke developed in the cabin. Repairs were performed and the plane was out of service only for part of the day. News source Zic reported that passengers aboard were screaming that the plane was burning. Emergency landing instructions are only reported in Ukrainian so foreigners must have been mystified about what was happening. No injuries were reported; and passengers were provided alternative transportation.
