Flight U6-1116 was bound for Moscow’s Domodedovo airport when the crew “received information about possible restricted items” on board, a spokeswoman for Ural Airlines said.

 

The crew of the Airbus A-321 plane requested an emergency landing at the nearest airport to have checks carried out and it landed in Baku, she said.

 

An airport source told reporters that nothing suspicious had been found on the plane and that a passenger had been detained.
